New care aide

Sunday, August 19, 2018
Donna was seated, but mom was no where in sight.  I checked the television room.  When I came back to the dining room, I saw mom being escorted by Larry.  He said mom had just taken a pee.
Edward showed up next, then came Jacquie.  They were relatively late serving dinner.  We got our dinners served about the same time at our table.  An aide came to ask about feeding mom, but I explained to her that mom didn't eat for me either.  I could tell that mom liked the aide. The nurse came to give mom her Tylenol and she took that without too much trouble.  Mom was happy to drink her beverages, but she just drank half a cup of her Boost and half a cup of her apple juice.
Finally mom ate some of her food.  She just ate about a quarter of her food and two bites of her banana.  Someone came to take Donna away to join the Black Jack game.  Edward left on his own.
Mom said something about her lower body so I rushed her to the washroom.  She had pooped a little in her diaper, but she pooped most of it in the toilet.  I cleaned her up without too much difficulty.
I brought mom's milk back with us and she drank about a half of it.  I gave her a baby cookie and she liked it.  We went through her photo book.  She enjoyed it.  I put the walkman on her and she listened for a bit.  We went for a little walk.  I came back and tried to get her to drink more milk.  Then I brushed her teeth.  She spit the water out after rinsing.  Very good.
I brought her back to the fish tank room and sat her with Donna.  They were happy to sit together.
