General observations @ 9:44AM> Today is bed bath day. This always pushes back our schedule a bit. Maureen is somewhat heavily congested this morning. It was apparent to both Maya and me from the get go. We are now halfway through breakfast. It is going well. Engagement, communication and responsiveness are all good. Eyes are wide open for the most part. Coughing has not been very much of an issue so far.
