Mother's Day

Sunday, May 13, 2018
I arrive just as they had started serving morning coffee.
I let mom socialize and sip her tea for a bit before I took her away.
I toileted her.  She took a pee and a poop.  Brushed her hair, washed her face, brushed her teeth, etc.
We did some more colouring in her colouring book.
A nurse came to listen to mom's chest.  She was worried mom had too much mucous, but it seems her lungs are still clear.  Nevertheless, the doctor recommended giving her antibiotics.
Most has a really phlegmy cough.
We met Ethel at the entrance.
We had lunch together: Ethel, mom, Donna and me.
Mom had her usualy pureed food:  mashed potatoes and gravy, green puree, egg whites and some kind of soup.  Mom just played with her spoon and soup in a cup.  She drank some of her Ensure or Boost.  She ate the custard dessert by herself.  All of it.
Mom kept remarking about a plastic green decoration on the table.
Ethel brought stuffed giraffes for Donna and mom.  They seemed to like them.
We had pancakes with strawberry sauce and turkey sausages and custard for dessert. 
Mom ate most of her food.
We took mom and Donna outside for a little walk and took a photo of them with their stuffies.
I left Donna in the fish tank room.  We took mom back to the room and I toileted her.  I had to change her diaper.  She did some more poop and pee. 
Ethel and mom went through mom's photo book.
I took mom to arm class.
Ethel went home.
After arm class, I toileted mom and brushed her teeth.  I let mom sleep for a bit.  She sang to herself before she fell asleep.
Then I started a game of card bingo.  Zorka played with us until some friends came to visit her.
Shanta didn't show up until near the end of the last game.
I left mom and Donna at arm class.
