Clean diaper

Friday, October 19, 2018
I arrived late because of bus trouble and an alternate route.
Larry was feeding mom.  She wasn't being very cooperative.
I started feeding mom.  She was cooperative at first, but eventually she started to get upset.
She drank all her beverages, some with the aid of a straw.
I gave her a mouthful of food and then I let her drink something.
After dinner I toileted her.  Her diaper was pristine.  She didn't even pee.
I took her to play with the foam noodles and balloon.  The residents enjoy this.  I am surprised at their reflexes and strength.  Mom used her left arm to swat the balloon and something she used both hands grabbing onto the noodle to hit the balloon. 
Mom seemed weaker than usual today.  She also seemed to have pain when she got up from her chair.  She still walks around okay.
After the balloon activity I tried to toilet her again, but again nothing.  I brushed her teeth.  I didn't used toothpaste.  I gave a cup of water to rinse with, but she took two sips and swallowed both.
We went through her photo book.  It always makes her happy and she does recognize herself still.
Michael had gone to Metrotown today.  Apparently he goes by bus and comes back by taxi.  I was surprised that he was allowed out.
