Mom eats apple sauce by herself!

Friday, May 24, 2019
Mom was sitting at the dining table with Edward and Donna.  She had already drunk her apple juice.  She wasn't interested in the food at all.  Jacquie joined the table and then one of the aides sat with us to feed Donna.  I ate some of mom's pureed food to show her it was harmless, but she wouldn't eat any.   She ate a couple of Cheetos.  She drank all of her Boost.  I took the pureed apple and stirred it with a spoon.  She took her pureed apple and ate all of it!  She took a banana, peeled it and ate about half.  We were all so happy to see mom eat.  I had tears in my eyes.
She was still chewing on the banana when I took her to the fish tank room.  She saw that they were setting up to play her favourite game where you hit a balloon with a foam stick.  I took her out to the circle and she had a good time.
I brought her back to the table where I had her leftover milk and pureed food, but she would have none of it.  She did eat some Cheetos.  Zorka and a Russian lady were sitting with us.  Zorka talks very loud and she doesn't hear so well.  The Russian lady repeatedly told Zorka that she did not speak English.  I had to translate for her.
Zorka wanted to interact with mom, but mom did not know what to make of her.  Zorka winked at mom and mom was confused.
Later mom was served Boost and an egg sandwich that I asked for.  Mom wouldn't eat the egg sandwich so I ate it.  I hadn't had any dinner and it was delicious.
