Diaper is heavily wet - cleaned, applied no sting barrier film, Cavilon barrier cream, and put on a new diaper. We finished dressing and transferred Maureen to the Geri chair using the Hoyer lift.

  • We had another great start to our day this morning. Maureen slept in. She was full of energy all morning, talkative and laughing with us. There were no periods of drowsiness. She coughed 3 times during breakfast.

  • Maureen dozed off multiple times while she was in the recliner. Collectively, I would say she slept for about 10 minutes.
