Mom is in distress

Saturday, May 25th, 2019
When I arrived at 12:35, mom was not sitting with Edward and Donna.  She was in the fish tank room, slumped over in her wheelchair.  It looked like she hadn't drunk or eaten anything.  I didn't see an empty cup of apple juice.  When she came too, she was in distress.  She said that something hurt and she cried.  I held her hand and she seemed better.  She nodded off and on.  She seemed distressed again, but I was able to calm her. 
Apparently, she was agitated this morning so they gave her a pain killer by injection.  I wonder if she had any breakfast.
She didn't eat or drink anything.  I put a headset on her and she seemed fine with that.
At 1:45 there was a foam stick and balloon activity and I brought mom there to participate.  Mostly she was engaged, but she did nod off a couple of times.
After the activity, I took her to the dining room for coffee.  I brought Donna too.  Donna has diarrhea.  The nurse wants to try not giving her milk.  She told Donna, but apparently not the kitchen staff.
Mom drank some of her Boost.  She ate a couple of baby spoonfuls of the pureed peach.  She ate some Cheese puffs (aka Cheesies, Cheetos)
She was in good spirits.
