Mom eats!

Friday, November 30, 2018
Mom was sitting at the dining table with Donna and Edward.  She hadn't started drinking her beverages yet.  Jacquie arrived soon after.
Mom refused to eat, drink, etc.  I took her food away to the family kitchen.  It was thrown out except for the main course of pureed potato, carrots and fish, the pudding and I salvaged my milk.  The banana and her Boost were gone. 
I tried toileting mom before I tried to feed her again.  I changed her diaper.  She had a pee and a little poop.  She didn't pee in the toilet.
Her hair was less tangled than usual.
I brought her back to the kitchen in her wheelchair.  We went through her photo book and she was cooperative.
I tried to feed her and this time she ate about half of her pureed food.  I was shocked.  She also ate all her pudding. 
I wheeled her back to her room and took her for a little walk.  We looked at the Christmas trees and decorations.  We went to the lobby and looked at her photo book again.
Then, I took her back to her room.  Donna was already in bed.
I put mom in her wheelchair and put her at the nurses' station.  She seemed a little put out that I was leaving her.  There were two Caucasian ladies there pretending they were doing the laundry.
