Blood on her bum

Wednesday, September 12, 2018
Mom was sitting with Donna and Edward and Jacquie had just arrived.  I could smell poop.  I decided to take mom to the washroom.  Mom was actually quite cooperative.  She had a diaper full of diarrhea.  She also pooped a mass into the toilet.  I cleaned her bum first with toilet paper and then wet towels.  She said her bum hurt.  I noticed there was blood.  Could be hemorrhoids.  She was very happy to be cleaned up.  We came back to the dining room.  Mom would not eat or drink.  I asked staff for a half a banana and she only took one bite.
After dinner she wouldn't come with me.  I left her at the table while I took her Boost, pudding, etc. back to her room.  Sometimes I am successful when I feed her in her room.
Michael wanted to play cards, but I said it depended on my mom.  We didn't play cards this night.
Chris arrived shortly before 6:00 pm.  We sat with him as he ate.  Mom was in a better mood.  I was going to bring her food, but I suspected that she had had another bowel movement.  This time she went with me willingly and I changed her diaper again.  She took a pee and I changed her diaper because there was a little poop on it.
We sat in mom's room and chatted.  I tried to get mom to eat something.  I gave a baby cookie to Chris and told him to eat it noisily.  I gave another cookie to mom and she took a bite and chewed it.  It is a rice rusk cookie for babies.  She drank a bit of Boost.
Later, I took her back to sit with Donna.  I told Donna that I would take her to sit with Reiko and Donna asked who is Reiko?  Maybe I should have said Riko.  Anyways they were happy to sit together.  I brought mom's unfinished banana and her Boost so she could maybe consume it. 
I asked the nurse to report the blood on her bum.  Mom also had a chunk of aspirin that she didn't swallow.  I asked that the aspirin be crushed and mixed with jam.
Chris mentioned that some people parked in the visitors parking lot and then walked over to a nearby church.  I mentioned this also to the nurse.  I forgot to mention that the church should be notified that their parishioners are not to park in the nursing home parking lot.
