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.
