Mom has poop in her fingernails

Sunday, March 18, 2018
Everyone except Jacquie was seated at the dining room table.  Mom was sitting in a wheelchair again. Mom was not interested in her food.  I could smell poop.  I noticed that her nails looked dirty, then I realized that she had poop under her fingernails!  Yikes!  On the way to her room I told the nurse.  I asked her if she had a fingernail brush.  Nope.  She said I should soak mom's nails.  I was pretty sure mom needed a diaper change as well.  Mom was in a wheelchair and she couldn't reach her hands to the sink.  I put some warm water and soap in a paper cup and soaked her fingers.  She was not happy about getting her hands soapy.  Then I got a paper towel and cleaned under the fingernails.  Mom said it hurt.  Once I had her nails relatively clean, I took her to the toilet.  She had poop in her diaper.  I had trouble getting mom to sit on the toilet.  Then she was upset because her diaper was poopie.  I had trouble trying to keep her hands away from the dirty diaper.  Somehow I got it off.  She was trying to stick her hand in her bum again.  I got small towels and soaked them in warm water and wrung them out.  Then I wiped her but.  There was more poop coming out.  I think I used 5 towels.  Mom was calmer once I removed most of the poop.  Then I had to put on a clean diaper, wash her hands, etc. 
We got back to the dining table just in the nick of time.  Our dinners were still there.
Jacquie came late so she ate with us.  I told Jacquie what had happened.  I put food in mom's spoon and placed her hand on the spoon and she was mostly able to feed herself, but she needed a lot of cueing.  She likes oranges, but they always get stuck in her teeth. 
I think mom's lost weight. Poor mom.
I took mom back to the room, brushed her teeth, washed her face, etc.
Then we played cards with Michael, Shanta and Donna.  Mom and Donna were engaged and playing.
Sometimes mom got confused so I would just flip the card for her.  Sometimes she would be impatient and asked me if she could flip a card.
After cards, I brought Anka over to join mom and Donna at the table to wait for hot cocoa.
