Call from nurse to say mom is not eating

Sunday, August 4, 2019
I got a call from the nurse after lunch to say that mom was not eating.  I said that I would be there in the evening.
Mom was sitting at the dining room table by herself when I arrived.  She was leaning back in the chair.  She drank most of her Boost.  She ate some banana, a half of a cherry, 3 blueberries, a half of a Cheeto, etc.
After dinner, I took her to the fish tank room.  She was restless so I gave her some bubble wrap.  When she tired of the bubble wrap, I tried to get her to eat again.  She started to eat the apple sauce by herself.  At first, she tried to drink it.  Eventually, she started to use the spoon.  I tried to give her some yogurt as well.  She only ate about a spoonful.
She was mostly engaged, but not too smiley.
I noticed her ankle looked swollen.  I called and the nurse said that she would ask the care aide about it.  Mom can stretch out her left leg, but she seems to have stiffness in her right leg.  Also, they haven't weighed her this month.
