Mom can't stand

Friday, March 22, 2019
Mom was sitting at the dining table and everyone was there.  Mom wouldn't eat anything.  Finally, when everyone except Edward had left, mom started to eat.  She ate most of her vanilla pudding and some of her pureed squash.  I put her medication in her milk and she drank all of it.  She also drank most of her Boost and all of my apple juice.  Mom was mostly dopey with her head hanging down.
Mom was able to hold a cup and drink from it, but mostly I gave her a sip between partial spoonfuls of food.  Mom eats like a bird.
There was an activity that mom likes going on so I took her to play.  She participated.  She hit a balloon with a foam stick.
I took her to her room to toilet her, but she wouldn't or couldn't get out of the wheelchair.
I combed mom's hair and wiped her face and hands.
Zorka's clothes were in mom's closet:  3 pairs of pants and two pairs of socks.  I put them on Zorka's bed.
I put a quilt around her legs and took her to sit with Donna by the nurses' station.
The nurse said that mom's medication hadn't changed.
She said that mom didn't like to get out of bed in the morning.
