It was a wet and windy night. Mom was seated at the dining table with Donna, Edward and Jacquie.
She had some Boost in her hand. Mom wouldn't eat anything, but when I peeled a banana for her, she ate most of it. After the others had left, I took mom's vanilla pudding and my apple juice back to her room. I tried feeding her again at the dining table and lo and behold she started eating. She ate most of her pureed peas and some meat. She drank all of her Boost.
I took her to the horse race activity, but she refused to touch the die. I cleaned some stuff off mom's left shoe. It looked suspiciously like poop, but I couldn't smell anything. Her horse won so she got some chocolate. I put half in her mouth and she ate it, but she said it didn't taste good.
I took her back to the room to toilet her. I got her to eat some more pudding while we were waiting for the aide. The aide said she would help me. The aide wasn't there so I just began the process myself. I got mom to walk to the toilet, removed her diaper, sat her down, got a diaper and some towels, gave her some apple juice to drink while we waited for a bowel movement, etc. The aide showed up. She started to undress mom and put her in a nightgown while mom was on the toilet. I think it was so mom wouldn't start touching her bum. There was no poop. The aide wiped mom's genitals with a warm towel and then she applied some cream. I think the cream was cold because mom was mad. Mom wanted to put her pants back on. I noticed that her trousers were on backwards. We pulled mom's pants on and took her to the bed. She didn't want to stand so the aide couldn't pull the pants off. I got mom to lie down so I could pull her pants off and she was cooperative. I adjusted her nightshirt and diaper. Mom's legs were so cold. I thought afterwards that I should have taken her for a walk too. I put a pajama top on her over the hospital nightgown and tucked her in. I sang a song for her and she smiled. Donna enjoyed it too. I sang Yuyakekoyake. Mom sang a bit too. She looked so sweet.
