Mom fed herself, kind of

Sunday, September 23, 2018
Mom was sitting with Donna when I arrived.  Mom was happy to go to the toilet with me.  First I cleaned the toilet seat. She had done a small poop in her diaper.  I sat her on the toilet and removed her diaper.  I disposed of the soiled diaper. I got small towels and a new diaper.  Mom had done more poop and a pee.  I prepared the toilet paper.  I got two thick wads.  I got her to hold one wad in each hand.  I got more toilet paper and wiped her bum.  There was quite a lot of poop.  I ran hot water in the sink to soak the towels and used those to clean mom.  Mom was kind of stooped.  I put the diaper on mom, still in the standing position and pulled up her pants.  Mom was quite cooperative.  We washed our hands and then went back to dinner.
I tasted mom's food.  I was pretty good.  I put the spoon in her hand, but she told me she didn't know what to do.  I directed the spoon towards her mouth and she ate the food.  I was so happy.  I continued to fill her spoon, get her to hold the spoon and then direct it to her mouth.  With a little help, she was able to feed herself.  I got half a banana for her.  I peeled it and placed it in her hand.  She brought it to her mouth and ate about 2/3.  I was so happy.  I got her a straw for her beverages.  Mom ate some Jello too.  I was so happy she was eating.
After dinner I took Donna to sit at the Black Jack table.  I took Shanta there too.  I took mom back to the room with the Boost and apple juice.  We looked at her photo album.  She enjoyed it.  We went to sit in the lobby and sang You are My Sunshine, Yuyakekoyake and Karasu.  She sang and was happy.  We walked back to her room.  She drank her Boost and apple juice.  I brushed her teeth.
I brought her to the fish tank room to sit with the Chinese lady who was wearing a lovely long black skirt with blue sequins.  Mom looked sad that I was leaving.
