    Bowel Movement:  Occurred as she was in the bathroom preparing for her nap. Excellent volume; good, but somewhat soft, consistency; very easy elimination; somewhat challenging clean-up.
    Dinner:  Chicken Enchilada from New Frontiers with their Cilantro Sauce and Fire Roasted Chipotle Salsa from Costco; 1 piece Marie Callendar's Chocolate Cream Pie.
    Miscellaneous Notes:

• Her bowel movements have been somewhat softer and smearier than usual; probably because of the added fluids I've been pushing, although her sweating and her couple of episodes of slight weakness in the last week seem to indicate the added fluids are necessary. I haven't been going overboard with additional fluid; experience directs me to be very cautious of that, as well. In fact, I've been so cautious that dialing her back would put her on her regular fluid intake, which was causing a problem. So, I guess, for the time being, until the mugginess abates, we'll put up with somewhat loose stools and challenging clean-ups.
• We're finally getting her blood glucose up...a year ago I would have worried about what seem to be high numbers above. Now, though, my feeling, as is the Hospice RN's, is that, considering that Mom's blood glucose is more likely to drop below normal than soar above 200, higher is better.
