  • 7:30am Maureen is in and out of sleep. She moves her legs from time to time. Diaper is dry. I applied lip balm to Maureen’s lips. She is lying on her left side.

  • 7:52am Maureen coughed twice. She was able to expectorate a significant amount of thick secretion.

  • 8:00am Maureen is sound asleep.

  • 8:15am Maureen has been lying on her right side a little over two hours at this point so I turned and repositioned her to her left side. She was awake during the process but fell back to sleep as soon as she got comfortable. Diaper remains dry.

  • 9:00am Maureen remains sound asleep. Diaper is dry.

  • 9:29am Maureen woke up. Her eyes are transfixed to one area, not responding to voice or touch. Her pulse reached a peak of 134 and her Oxygen dipped down to as low as 91%. Respiration is 24. Her arms were moving in an up and down motion and she was barely blinking. Tom and I decided to monitor Maureen before giving her a dose of Lorazepam.

  • 9:36am Maureen’s gaze is still fixed to one point. Her pulse is 80 and oxygen has improved to 95%. Respiration is 18. Her arms are relaxed and she is calmer than before. Diaper remains dry. Maureen took sips of water via swab.

  • Vitals: 96.5° temp, 80 pulse, 95%, respiration 18.

  • 10:08am Maureen is awake so our morning begins. Her diaper is dry - we opted to clean and change Maureen and apply 3M products. Next, we washed Maureen’s upper body using warmed wipes. We then finished dressing for the day and headed to the kitchen.

  • 10:36am Spoonful of Manuka honey, Flonase, and thyroid pill with applesauce.
