Mom ate and pooped

Sunday, Dec. 2nd, 2018
Mom was in the fish tank room sitting at a table with a small container of ice-cream.  She didn't want to eat it.  Typical.  I took her back to her room and toileted her.  While I was tidying her closet she tried to get up from her wheelchair.  She wanted to use the toilet.  I was about to pull her pants down and seat her, but she refused.  After some cajoling, she finally cooperated.  She had pooped in her diaper, but there was more poop to come.  I had to leave her by herself for a minute while I went to throw out her diaper and get a new plastic bag. When I got back she had poop on her left hand.  Then she tried to clean the poop off her hand on her knee.  I immediately gave her some toilet paper to hold onto.  Then I got a wet towel to clean her hands. I cleaned her nether regions and put on a new diaper. She was very happy after her poop and diaper change.  I washed her hands and cleaned under her nails with her nail brush. 
I told mom not to drink her beverages until after her meal came.  She immediately reached for her apple juice and drank some.  Then she gave me the cup so I put it aside. I gave mom a spoonful of food, but she didn't want to eat it.  I tried it and it was a little hot for me. 
Mom ate some applesauce by herself.  She also ate some of her food by herself.  I was even able to feed her a few mouthfuls interspersed with sips of apple juice and Boost. 
After dinner, I took mom to the toilet again.  She did some wet farts and I cleaned her bum again.
I took her for a walk to the lobby and we looked at her photo album.  We walked around a bit.  She was happy and cooperative.  We went back to the room and looked at a Japanese children's book.  I read her two stories:  The Boy Who Cried Wolf and the Country Mouse and the City Mouse.  She enjoyed the stories.
I took mom to sit with Donna in the fish tank room.
I brought a new pair of gray sweatpants for mom to be labeled.
