Gave mom a bath last night. I don't even remember now when I started having to do this. A month ago? Anyways after I talked to the new case manager she said we could have a support worker give mom a bath and wash her hair on Mondays and Wednesdays. I'm so grateful.
I have to tell mom which parts of her body to wash. We start with her face. I encourage her to use the wash cloth. Then, we do her ears. I point out my ears and then behind the ears. Then, I put soap on the wash cloth and I tell her to wash her neck, chest, underarms, stomach, private parts, legs, feet, etc. I make sure to wash between her toes.
Sometimes she likes to lay back in the water, but sometimes she can't seem to get into a comfortable position and she says her head hurts.
She loves it when I wash her back.
She uses the wash cloth to dry her body and then I use a hand towel to help her dry her back. She dries herself.
I lay out her underpants and undershirt.

I just called mom. She said she was just about to jump into the bath.
Yikes! Someone is coming to give her a bath and wash her hair.
I called St. Elizabeth and warned them about mom. Maybe they can just wash her hair.
