Haven't seen mom for 12 days. When I got there, Donna was watching a movie with the group. The staff person said that mom was in the Fraser Room. Mom recognized me and smiled. I was so relieved. I was worried that she would forget me. She didn't want to get out of her chair, but I coaxed her and took her to the washroom. Her diaper was clean.
There was a lot of laundry in mom's hamper. The clothes smelt like pee.
I combed mom's hair, wiped her face, brushed her teeth. She seemed to be missing a tooth. I should check on that. I gave her about 1/2 a cup of water to drink.
We did some colouring in her colouring book. We haven't done that for a long time. Mom seemed to enjoy it. She couldn't really colour, but she drew lines with her crayon. She was happy with the result. She had a very phlegmy cough, but she didn't spit out the phlegm. When I gave her a tissue, she patted her nose and then patted her face.
We went through her photo book. She enjoyed it very much.
Then I toileted her again. This time she took a pee and a poo.
I took her to the dining room because it was 4:30 p.m. and close to dinner time. There was hymn singing going on. I took mom over to join the group. Mom made Japanese sound effects to go with the music. I think she enjoyed the music. The pastor gave everyone a carnation for Mother's Day. Mom was really pleased. Jacquie was really into the singing. I was surprised to see William up there singing.
We joined Donna at the dining table. Edward soon joined us. I took mom and Donna's carnations back to their room and put the stems in cups and propped each carnation against a wall. I encouraged mom to drink her tea black. She was sipping it and kept trying to share it with me. I hope the hot tea helped with her congestion.
Mom had her nails painted a light pink. Donna had her nails painted a dark cherry red.
Mom admired the carnations on the table.
It was teriyaki chicken. I cut up Donna's chicken for her. I left before mom's meal was served.
