A better day

Wednesday, Sept. 5, 2018
Mom had already drank most of our beverages, except for the Boost:  two apple juices and a milk.  She took her Tylenol mixed with strawberry jam from the nurse.  She didn't open her mouth very wide for the first two approaches, but she opened wide for the last spoonful.
She was kind of grouchy and didn't seem to be interested in her food so I took her to the toilet.  Her diaper was a little soiled so I changed it.   She took a pee.  She was happy.
When we got back to the table, everyone was gone except Edward, but he soon left.  Mom ate most of her pureed vegetable.  I was happy.  She ate it by herself.  Michael came by and said that mom was really good at the bean bag toss. He hasn't been using his walker recently.  He's using a cane only.  He doesn't look too steady.
Since that was all she was going to eat, I took her back to the room and toileted her again.  Nothing came out, but there was another poop stain which I wiped up with a towel. While she was on the toilet, I got her to comb her hair at the back which was a little tangled.
We went through her photo album.  I tidied her closet a bit.  I find some people don't dress mom well. I tried to put together outfits and included an undershirt on the hanger.  Hope it works.
I had to change mom's shirt because there was a poop stain at the back.
I cleaned her nails with the nail brush.
We played cards.  She wasn't too engaged.  She kept saying she couldn't do it.  She tried to turn over the wrong card.  She did flip a few cards over at the end of the game. She has the manual dexterity.
After cards, I brought out a puzzle, but Donna and mom didn't have a clue.  I'll try again some other time.
