New undershirt

Monday, August 6, 2018
Mom was sitting at the table with Donna.  She was in a wheelchair.  I could smell poop.  I took mom to her room to toilet her.  There was poop on her thigh and some down her leg.  There was a tiny bit in her diaper, but I changed it anyways.  I changed her pants too.
It was 5:30 p.m. and mom had refused to eat anything.  I had given up and started carting her beverages to her room.  When I got back, I tried feeding mom again and she allowed me to.
She wasn't opening her mouth wide enough.  It might be because some aides put too much food in her mouth.  I wonder if that was how her teeth got broken.  Anyways I was able to feed her about a 1/4 of her food.  She enjoyed her apple juice. When we got back to the room, I toileted her again.  She did some wet farts and there was poop in the toilet.  I forgot to report this to the nurse.
We played card bingo with Alister, Zorka, Michael, mom and me.  Donna chose to be toileted, but they didn't actually toilet her until after mom and I got back from the card game.
I showed mom the clothes I brought for her.  I bought a new undershirt from Uniqlo that I requested to be labeled.  I brought an old shirt and undershirts.  She's lost weight so maybe they will fit her again.  We went through mom's photo book.  I got her to drink most of her Boost and some of her milk.  I brought her back out to sit at the nurses station and she seemed happy.  There was a fan so I asked her several times if she felt cold, but she said she was fine.  I supposed she could always get up and walk away if she got too cold.
