Writer: djdanga2djdanga2
  • 8:00am Per Tom, Maureen has been in and out of sleep since around 7:30am. She is lying on her left side.

  • 8:30am Maureen is still in and out of sleep. Tom is with Maureen at bedside.

  • 8:47am Tom and I helped Maureen to a sitting position in bed. Administered 75 mcg Levothyroxine.

  • 9:00am We began our day with a partial bed bath using warmed wipes from the purple container. Tom and I noted a small red spot on Maureen's left elbow - there is a small cut about 2 mm in diameter and another smaller cut immediately above the red spot. This cut has no noticeable redness. Diaper is dry, thick discharge present - performed a clean and change. Applied Cavilon barrier film to the sacral area and Cavilon barrier cream to appropriate areas. We finished dressing and headed to the kitchen using the lift.

  • 9:43am Breakfast - fruit smoothie and a serving of Activia yogurt. Administered 10 mg Loratidine and 500mg Metronidazole. 6 oz prune juice.

  • Daily MiraLAX dosage - 1 cap

  • 10:28am Morning facial routine.

  • 10:54am We headed outside for a stroll around the neighborhood.

  • 11:14am We returned to the house. It was a little cooler out than we anticipated so we shortened our time outside. We walked a total of 0.66 miles.

    • Tom and I noticed a small spot on Maureen's right leg that was bleeding. Skin is still intact. I promptly sanitized the area and applied a bandaid.

  • 11:27am We headed to the bedroom for rest break #1. Maureen's diaper is dry but there is a small amount of thick discharge present. Maureen urinated during the change process that equated to a medium wet diaper. We performed a clean and change and positioned Maureen on her right side. Rest break #1 starts at 11:43am.

  • 12:43pm Rest break #1 ends. Maureen's diaper is dry, no discharge. We dressed and headed to the kitchen.

  • 1:50pm Oral care. We reclined Maureen's geri chair down one notch for her comfort.

  • 2:30pm We headed to the bedroom for rest break #2. Maureen's diaper is dry. Tom and I repositioned Maureen to her left side. Rest break #2 starts at 2:40pm.
