Mom won't eat

Saturday, October 6, 2018
Everybody except Jacquie was there.  Mom was very contrary today.  She wouldn't take her medication.  She wouldn't drink from her straw.  She just wouldn't eat.
My dinner took forever to arrive.  I wonder if that had anything to do with it.  She seemed kind of paranoid.  She seemed to think that there was something wrong with the food, even though I tasted it for her.  She ate maybe three spoonfuls.
After dinner, I packed up her drinks and took them to her room, along with some banana and a container of her food.
I got her to sit on the toilet with no problem.  She peed and her diaper was relatively clean.
While she was on the toilet, I got her to drink her Boost with the medication with a straw.  Hurray!
We sat on her bed and went through her photo book.  She enjoyed that.
I tried again to get her to eat and drink.  She drank all her milk and some of her apple juice.  She choked a bit.  She refused to eat anything from the spoon.
I took her to the chapel and we sang.  She enjoyed that.
I brought her back to the fish tank room to sit with the other girls.  Donna was taken to be toileted.
I brought a box of cookies for the staff.
