Urine Sample

Wednesday, August 1, 2018
Mom was being fed when I arrived.  She was trying to dodge the spoon.  Mom hardly ate anything.  She had drunk all her beverages.  I tried to get her to eat a tamago sushi and a dorayaki, but she barely ate anything.
Then she said something about taking a poo.  I rushed her to her room, but she wouldn't get out of the wheelchair.  I went back to the table and picked up my tea and the leftover dorayaki and tamago sushi.  When I got back to mom, she was ready to get out of the chair.  She had already soiled her diaper.  I took the diaper off and she did more poop in the toilet.  I put toilet paper in her hands and wiped her bum.  She had poop in her folds.  I used 3 towels to clean her off.  I put on a new diaper.
I washed her hands using the new nail brush. 
Mom was happy.  She's had two big poops in two days and I've hardly seen her eat anything.
Mom picked up my pink cardigan and put it on.  She looked very happy.  I thought about letting her keep it, but it wasn't labeled.  I had to coax her to give it back to me I left.  I pretended that I was cold.  She grudgingly gave it back.
I was going to take mom to play cards when the nurse asked if I could get a pee sample.  I tried to get mom to drink more liquids.  We went to play cards.  Mom was pretty engaged.  She found some cards and turned some cards over with help. 
After cards, I sat mom on the toilet and brushed her teeth.  I had Chris watch her while I went to use the guest toilet.  When I got back, mom had produced some very yellow pee.  It wasn't much, but it was enough for the sample.  I will take it to the Biolab tomorrow.
Chris said mom was so listless last Wednesday that he was worried that she had taken a turn for the worse and was thinking about calling me at camp.
