Wheelchair day

Wednesday, August 22, 2018
Mom was in a wheelchair.  She didn't smile when she saw me.  She looked grouchy.  Soon she was smiling.  She didn't want to eat anything.  She did drink her Boost.
She had a few bites of orange sherbert, a few bites of banana, a few bites of her dinner.  She drank most of her apple juice and ate a baby biscuit I brought for her.
I toileted mom after dinner.  She had skid marks on her diaper.  She peed and farted.  I asked the nurse and she said that mom had had a large bowel movement in the morning.
I had a hard time getting mom out of the wheelchair to toilet her. 
Once I got her up she was okay.  I washed her hands with the nail brush.
We played card bingo.  I got Joan to join us.  Mom was engaged and did flip over a couple of cards. We saw Alan and Shanta come by as we were finishing.  I asked Alan if his mom could play cards because the nurse said that she was supposed to stay in her room.  Alan said that his mom had a skin condition, but that it was now healed.  We finished earlier than usual because Donna was in distress.  Maybe she had pain.  She just wanted to be wheeled over to the nurses station.
Mom didn't want to get up from her chair so I brought her food to her: milk, apple juice, baby cookie, banana.  She was biting the cookie and drinking the apple juice.  I did some exercises with her.  She tapped her feet on the ground.
