Mom won't eat and drink

Wednesday, November 14, 2018
Mom was sitting at the dining table with Donna.  She had already consumed my apple juice and hers and her milk.  She didn't seem happy to see me.  She wouldn't eat any of her food.  She wouldn't even eat her banana.  After dinner I gathered her Boost, some water, her strawberry puree and some pureed peas, and her banana onto a tray and took them to her room.
When I got mom to stand from her wheelchair, her pants fell off.  I was shocked.  I toileted mom.  I changed her diaper.  I changed her pants and discovered that they were Zorka's.  No wonder they were so huge!
I had brought a pair of pants and a tank top for mom to be labeled.  I also mentioned that mom's green pants were missing.
I took mom to the lobby and we played with the toy where you do an activity and an animal pops out of a box with a loud noise.  I think mom likes it.  However, she was reluctant to push or pull anything.  We went through her photo book.
Usually when I say "banzai" she lifts up her arms, but she didn't today.  She lifted up her legs.
I brought her back to the room and tried to coax her to eat, but she was uncooperative.  I finally got her to drink some Boost after I gave her a straw.
I left her at the nurses station in her wheelchair.  I put her afghan around her legs.
