6:35AM - Maureen is sleeping for the most part. She has a nice chat with herself occasionally. Diaper is wet. Since she is at peace, we are electing not to change her at this time.
Our day began @ 8:05AM. Maya gave Maureen a partial bed bath with the warmed wipes from the purple packet. Maureen's diaper was wet. Maya thoroughly cleaned her using the 3M Cavilon No-Rinse Cleansing Spray. She then proceeded to apply 3M Cavilon Barrier Cream to all areas exposure to urine and/or feces. Last but not least, Maya applied a new layer of 3M Cavilon No-Sting Barrier Film to the entire pressure ulcer area.
Pressure Ulcer Area Update> After looking at the three images we took this morning, we believe the pressure ulcer area improved a little bit this morning. Overall, it continues to look quite good and trend positively. At this time, for whatever reason, I cannot post any images to the blog.
Breakfast service commenced at 8:35AM. Before getting started, Maya administered the thyroid medication. Maureen's posture in the geri chair is good. She has a green wedge pillow on each side of her. Maureen coughed only a few times during breakfast.
