Mom was sitting in a wheelchair with all her table mates. She was just beginning to inspect my cutlery. Actually, I think she had already inspected it and was back at it. I took my cutlery from her. I noticed she had already drunk my apple juice. Mom didn't eat anything. I took her food and put it on the table in the family kitchen area so she could eat with Chris when he arrived. Edward was still eating at the table alone. I even saw him eat a piece of carrot. Usually he doesn't eat vegetables.
I took mom to her room. Donna was already there washing up.
I changed mom's pee soaked diaper. She said it stunk. I could definitely smell poop. She did a poop in the toilet. Mom wiped her bum with toilet paper and she threw the poopy paper in the toilet. Hurray! Usually I just try to distract her, but she was okay. I finished cleaning her up and put on a new diaper.
I took mom for a walk back to the family kitchen and started to feed her. She took one bite and was uncooperative. I got her photo book out. Chris came. I was able to get mom to drink all her milk. She ate very little of her dinner. She started eating her banana. I gave her a baby cookie and she ate that too. She also drank some of Chris' apple juice and some water through a straw. She was in a much better mood today. She was alert and engaged.
After Chris left, I took mom back to her room and put a sweater on her. She did up the top buttons. Donna and Joan were already in bed. I put mom back in her wheelchair and left her at the nurses station.
