When I arrived, Donna was in the fish tank room. She was not happy. The care aide told me that mom was being toileted. She showed up a few minutes later. A care aide took Donna to the dining room and I took mom. Donna had no trousers and she couldn't understand why. I talked to the care aides and apparently she has gained so much weight that many of her clothes do not fit her. On top of that she had soiled her clothing and nothing had come back from the laundry. I told Donna to tell her sister that she needed new clothes.
Edward looked very dapper today. He was wearing a hat and tie. He brought out some brochures and asked if a tip was necessary. I told him that he didn't need any money. He said that he was going to get a job and buy a new car. He also said that he was 98 years old and that he was having a birthday in July.
After dinner I took mom back to the room to toilet her, brush her teeth, wash her face, etc. I think she lost a tooth.
The care aide said that Donna had gained too much weight so they were trying to limit her food intake. They didn't want her to have hot cocoa. The care aide changed Donna's diaper and put her to bed.
We played card bingo with Michael, Shanta, mom and me. Joe eventually joined us. He was being toileted and it took a long time for the care aide to come and help him.
