Diarrhea

Wednesday, December 12, 2018
When I arrived, mom had already consumed her apple juice and Boost.  She ate half a banana after I peeled it for her. Eventually, I was able to spoon feed her all of her pureed green vegetable.  She complained, but she ate it.  She was in a good mood.
Donna had a blanket draped over her legs and no pants.  She was listing towards her right side.
Chris arrived and I finished feeding her while Chris ate.
We took mom to her room to toilet her.  Donna had already been changed and put to bed.
I put mom on the toilet.  Immediately she started producing wet farts.  I changed her diaper because there was a little bit of poop on them.  I noticed the smell of poop and saw a poop emerging from mom's bum.  I coaxed it out with some toilet paper.  Then liquidy stuff came out.  This continued for some time.  I combed mom's hair to pass the time.  Finally, I thought mom was finished so I got her to stand while I wiped her butt.  Liquid poop dripped onto her pants.  I put her back on the toilet and began the process again.  I had to flush the toilet many times.  Blood was showing up on the toilet paper.  I notified the nurse.  In the end, mucousy stuff came out.  I cleaned mom up and put a diaper on her and changed her pants.  I then washed her hands.
Chris and I took mom for a short walk.  Then we put her back in the wheelchair and left her at the nurses' station.
