Another good day - mom ate 2/3 of her dinner and took a poo

Sunday, August 26, 2018
Mom was in a good mood.  She was engaged with the other people at the table.  She participated by lifting her cup when we raised our cups. She didn't eat much.  She fed herself a couple of spoonfuls of food.  She swallowed most of the medicine the nurse brought.  She ate some of my ham, peas and scalloped potato.  Periodically I asked her about her tummy.  Finally she said her tummy felt funny.  I took her to the washroom.  Her diaper was relatively clean, but I changed it.  She took a pee and then I could see a poop coming out of her butt.  She tried to touch it.  I put toilet paper in both of her hands.  She scooped up a small poop with the toilet paper and showed it to me.  I took it and put it in the toilet.  I wiped her bum with the toilet paper and was going to the sink to rinse out some towels when she tried to pull her pants back up.  I wiped her bum and then put her diaper on.  She was very happy.
I washed her hands in the sink with the finger nail brush.
We went back to the table.  Everyone was gone.  When we sat down, mom ate.  I fed her almost 2/3 of her dinner.  She probably would have eaten more, but because I know she usually eats very little, I didn't want her to clean off her plate. 
The kitchen lady was very kind and didn't rush us.  I took the milk and Boost and banana back to the room.  We looked at mom's photo book and she was very happy.  I tried to put the headset on her, but she wasn't too keen.  I gave her a baby cookie and she ate about half.
I took mom to sit with the group playing Black Jack.  She was happy just to sit and watch.
