Runny nose

Tuesday, January 17, 2018
Mom, Donna and Edward were seated when I arrived.  Mom had already drank all her beverages except her tea.  I got served last.  Mom kept saying she wasn't hungry and couldn't possibly eat her food or something like that.  I don't think she knew what to do.  I tried to feed her, but she refused.  After my food came, I put a fork in her mashed potatoes and pork stew and tried again.  She was more responsive and eventually she started to use the utensils to eat her dinner.  I was worried that maybe she had to go to the washroom, but she said it wasn't necessary.  Mom enjoyed her orange sections.  She tried to eat her orange with a fork so I peeled it for her and removed a section.  After she was fine.  She ate those and then started back to her main meal.  She ate most of her meal except for her bun. 
Donna's nose was quite runny.  She was blowing it in her bib.
I really enjoyed the Nanaimo bar.
After dinner, mom wheeled Donna back to the room.  I helped Donna get her tissue paper.  I toileted mom.  Her diaper had a poop streak, but otherwise was fine.  I changed her diaper, wiped her bum, etc.  She had had her shower today so her hair looked good.  I combed it.  I brushed her teeth.  She tries to pick her teeth because the orange fibres get stuck in them.  We went through mom's photobook.
Then we went to play cards with Michael.  He was in the television room.  The woman who cleans the floors doesn't like us to be there.  She has a certain way she cleans the floors.  She suggested we go into the chapel to play.  It took a bit of muscle, but she helped me moved a table and I moved the chairs.  Michael played two hands because we only had four players.  He likes that. 
I had to leave at 6:30 so I had to wrap up earlier than usual.
