None of the areas we clean on a regular basis required the application of Nystatin Ointment.

• Breakfast began @ 8:58AM. Maureen's posture in the geri chair is good. She continues to tilt to the left a bit. We use a green wedge pillow on each side and insert Magic Mike directly behind her left hip to help perfect her posture. Maya gave Maureen a tea spoon of Manuka honey. We are starting out with it right away to see if it reduces the amount of coughing during breakfast. She then administered the thyroid pill immediately after the honey.
