    Bowel Movement occurred during morning bathing, sometime between 1415 and 1445: Fair volume, good to soft consistency, easy evacuation, fairly easy clean-up.
    I gave her a third glipizide before bed in order to assuage the effect of some lemon sorbet we had after dinner.
    After her nap and her breathing treatment she coughed up a load of sputum that was yellow. First time she's done that since she's been home. I'll keep an eye on it but won't report it to the Hospice nurse unless this continues for another day or so.

    Well, here I am, reinstating these daily reports a year to the day (considering that I'm actually typing this a few hours after the close of the day I'm posting them for) after I stopped. Seems like a good idea to keep track of this stuff, again. I may add more as time goes on. I definitely need to add a new medication list, as well, and link it to the main journal. Some of the information might come in handy as she continues in Hospice for her lung cancer.
    I have been taking her temperature in the morning but this morning I discovered that the digital "9 second" thermometer we've been using may be malfunctioning. When I took the thermometer out of her mouth, the digital reading jumped a tenth of a degree. This evening when I took her temperature I didn't pull it out immediately after the beeping and noticed that her temperature was continuing to rise after the thermometer was supposed to be done. I guess I'll be scrapping the digital thermometer and purchasing another one shortly. Until then, I'll try taking her temperature with our old mercury thermometer and see what readings I get, beginning tomorrow morning.
