Full Stat Day:

    Reading:  131
A.M. Blood Pressure:
    Time:  1421
    BP:  128/72
    Pulse:  68

Medication Change:
  • Gave her exactly 4 oz prune juice before bed. Although she had a "good" bowel movement yesterday, it was large, hard, not particularly easy to eliminate and it was obvious from the volume and from the fact that she reported that she didn't feel as though she was "done" (I stopped her, anyway, because she was straining to eliminate; when I wiped her it didn't feel like there was anything pressing at her anus). I figured she could use a little boost to help move the rest of what she's storing in there along.
  • 10 drops of Debrox in each ear just before bed.
    Dinner:  Home made stewy chicken soup; 1/6 Marie Callendar's Cherry Crunch Pie with freshly whipped cream a la mode.
    Sleep:
  • After attempting unsuccessfully to awake Mom at 1300, which would have been 1 hour shy of her 12 hour sleep mark, she awoke easily at 1400.
  • Down for nap at 1915
  • Up from nap at 2030
  • Down for bed at 0100
  • Awake 9.75 hours
