Suppository

Saturday, Nov. 16, 2019
Mom was still in bed.  Her food had not been served.  I went to investigate.  By the time I had returned, an aide was feeding her.  Mom was hungry, but she didn't open her mouth wide.  I gave her apple juice first to quench her thirst, then followed with pureed food and soup.  She ate most of her pureed peach.  When I fed mom, I was coming into contact with her teeth. There was no Boost.
After lunch, I got mom to toss her hedgehog back and forth with me.  She laughed.  I wish I could have taped it.  She was so cute. 
An aide and a nurse came by to change mom's diaper and wound.  I helped secure mom's arms.  Mom has a very strong grip.  She was in pain.  I fear she is in constant pain.
Her diaper was soaked through and her pink anti-strip jumpsuit was also soiled.  They had given her a suppository.  The nurse said that mom needed to eat more protein.  Poor mom.  They put her into her blue anti-strip jumpsuit.
I put a sweater on mom.  It was difficult.  She tried to bite me. 
For afternoon tea, I gave mom some prune juice.  She drank some apple juice as well.  She ate some minced ham sandwich, but she had trouble with the bread.  I should probably just scrape off the ham and spoon feed her.  She was biting into the sandwich.  Eventually, she fell asleep.
