Joe and Santos passed away.

Thursday, December 27, 2018
Mom was sitting at the dining table with Donna when I arrived.  I took her to her room to toilet her.  She held onto her diaper, but I convinced her to let it go.  I changed it because there was some poop on it.  Larry told me that he had changed a poopy diaper earlier.  I cleaned her up and took her to the fish tank room and we looked at her photo book for a few minutes.  I was going to get her to go for a walk, but she refused.  I wheeled her to the dining table.
Jacquie told me that Santos had passed away.  It was his liver.  I feel like I just saw him a few days ago.  Joe also passed away.  Jacquie said that he was in his 90's.  I thought he was younger.  I liked him. 
Mom would not eat or drink anything.  The nurse was able to feed her her medication by adding sugar to the applesauce medication mixture. 
After a while, mom let me start to feed her.  I alternated with pureed food and a sip of beverage.  Mom only opened her mouth a little and only ate a little off the spoon, but she let me put the spoon in her mouth twice.  Once in a while, she opened her mouth wider.  She ate about a third of her food.  She ate most of the pureed pear which was her dessert.  She did not even take one bite of the banana.
After dinner, I toileted her again.  There was some poop on her diaper.  I wiped it up with a towel.  But when I got her to stand, she pooped again.  I had to change her diaper.  She has diarrhea.  I cleaned her up and put her in a new diaper, but it will likely be soiled again quickly.
