Mom wasn't the only one who wasn't eating

Wednesday, May 1, 2019
Mom was sitting at the dinner table with Edward, Jacquie, and Donna.  Edward looked sad and had tears in his eyes.  He recovered quickly.
Mom had finished her apple juice but had touched nothing else. I gave her some bubble wrap to occupy her while I ate dinner. She took my apple juice and drank it.  After dinner, I took her aside and tried to ply her with food and drinks, but she would have none of it.
She became agitated.  She wanted to go somewhere.  I took her to the washroom.  She cooperated.  She was able to get up from the wheelchair with some difficulty.  She said her thighs were sore.  I was able to remove her pants and diaper and she produced what sounded like a large wet fart.  Her bum seemed quite clean.  Her diaper was soiled so I changed it.  She complained as I cleaned her up with towels.  I was able to put a new diaper on and get her back in the wheelchair. 
We sat together in the television room.  I sipped tea and mom played with bubble wrap.  I was able to get her to eat a couple of Cheesies.  She would not try the dessert.  I got some on her hand and she licked it.  She liked it, but still would not eat it.  I tried putting more on her thumb, but she just wiped it off on her bib.  She drank a bit of her milk, a bit of her orange juice and some of her Boost.
I sang the train song for her.  Keesha, keesha, po, po, po, po, shuppo, shuppo, shuppo, po... She liked it.  She enjoyed looking outside and pointing at things.
She thanked me for massaging her legs.  Her knees, calves and feet were very cold.
A couple of other residents were not eating today.
