8:00am Maureen is awake. She is full of energy, very talkative and smiling. Our day begins with a complete bed bath. Marie and I noticed the slight redness in Maureen’s right armpit. We did not apply anything to this area and we will continue to monitor. Tolcylen applied to both big toes. Diaper is heavy wet - cleaned, applied no sting barrier film followed by the Cavilon barrier cream to appropriate areas and put on a fresh diaper. We finished dressing.
