Lunch with mom

Monday, October 8, 2018
The whole gang was there today.  Staff was trying to get mom to take some Tylenol when I arrived.  I told her that I would handle it.  She also gave me some constipation medication to give to mom.  Mom took one mouthful and said she didn't like her food.  She wouldn't even try her dessert.  A male aide who spoke some Japanese got mom to open to her mouth, but she wasn't being cooperative.  I got a tray and took her drinks and medication back to her room.
I took mom and Donna to the chapel and we sang some songs.  Then I brought Donna back to the fish tank room.  I took mom back to her room.  We looked at her photo album.  I was able to get her finish off her Tylenol and constipation medicine.  She enjoyed her apple juice.  Each time she took a sip she said it tasted good.  She was shaking a bit as she brought the cup to her mouth.  I was able to get her to drink all her Boost with a straw.  She didn't want to drink milk.
We went to look at the thrift store.  Mom wasn't interested in anything.
I tried to toilet her, but she said it wasn't necessary.
I took mom back to sit with Donna.
