Hallelujah!

Saturday, May 18th, 2019
Mom ate nothing for dinner.  She drank some apple juice.  She ate a piece of cracker with melted cheddar cheese.  She chewed so much I was worried she had put something else in her mouth.
Mom was playing with her seatbelt.  She was folding it and twisting it.
She seemed kind of dopey and was falling asleep so I asked the nurse if she had been given some medication.  She said that I should ask the other nurse. Eventually, she came to see me and she said that mom had drunk some medication to help her sleep.  She said mom was combative for toileting.
Mom had torn up the first page of "Little Red Riding Hood."  I had to ask for tape to tape it back together.  I read her the story twice.  She was engaged and cooperative.   She ate some Cheetos.  She finished her apple juice.
I took her to the fish tank room. 
I thought there was something in her mouth so I kept trying to get her to open her mouth by closing her nostrils.  In the end, I didn't find anything.  But the good news is that she drank all of her Boost from dinner and her nighttime Boost as well.  Apparently, she drank a cup of Boost yesterday as well.  It looks like her appetite is coming back.
I put a brown shirt on her and it looked very smart.
She was very interested in the buttons.
