Mom is still not walking

Saturday, March 9, 2019
An aide was trying to feed mom when I arrived.  I was able to feed mom all of her apple sauce and some of her pureed peas.  She drank all her beverages including her medicine-laced Boost.  I wonder if they give her Tylenol?  According to her Medical Pharmacies statement, she's getting Acetaminophen and Lax-a-day powder.  The laxative is quite expensive at $16.99 a month compared to the Tylenol at $2.60 a month.
Mom is really thin.  Even Edward looks more robust.
Mom complained that her bum hurt.
I couldn't toilet her because the aide was looking after Donna and then the bathroom was really stinky.  Also, mom can't seem to walk now.
I was able to get her to move from the wheelchair to the chair and then back again, but she didn't walk and barely stood.  She seemed quite stiff.
She said that she was "damme" or not good.
She listened to Japanese music and seemed to enjoy it for a bit.
I also gave her some bubble wrap, but she didn't know what to do and started to fold the plastic sheet.
Mom's comb is still missing so I substituted another one.  Very annoying.
I cleaned under mom's fingernails.  Lots of crusty stuff.  Some dark brown crusty stuff.
Today I tried to brush her teeth.  I was a little successful.  I wonder if it hurts?
Donna was sick today.  She had a runny nose and could barely feed herself.  She had diarrhea.
