Mom is sad

Friday, March 1, 2019
Mom was being fed by an aide when I arrived.  She let me feed her as well.  She was listing to her right side today.  Her ankles were cold and she didn't want me to massage them.  I put a quilt on her instead. 
She ate about 1/3 of her pureed food.  She ate all of her pureed pear.  She drank all of her beverages.
There was a balloon activity after dinner so I took mom to participate.  She hit the balloon with her left hand mostly rather than hitting the balloon with the foam stick.
After the activity, I took her to her room to toilet her, but she wouldn't let me.  She didn't want to get out of her wheelchair.  I had been hoping to take her for a walk, but she seemed very tired. 
I wheeled her out to the entrance hall and we looked at her photobook.  She was engaged and talkative, but suddenly she became sad.
I took her back to the room and attempted to toilet her again, but she would have none of it.
I wheeled her out to sit with Donna, Barbara and Joan.  They were all having their hot cocoa.  Mom got more Boost.
