Mom is in bed

Sunday, August 26, 2019
When I arrived at 2:00, mom was still in bed.  She had soiled herself several times and her harness was being cleaned. She was quite dopey too.  She kept nodding off.  I was able to get her to drink one 1/2 cup of apple juice and another 1/2 cup of cranberry juice.  She ate a couple of small bites of ham sandwich and some pumpkin.
Around 4:00, I overheard a nurse ask why mom was still in bed.  I think she told the aide to get a different harness, which he did.  Meanwhile, I found mom's harness in the closet.  The aide came back at 4:30 and dressed mom and put her in the harness and lifted her into the wheelchair.
Jackie got some tomatoes from a neighbour.  She chopped them up and shared them.  Mom ate two pieces.  Mom ate some squash and some vanilla pudding.  She drank most of her beverages.
I gave her some karinto, Cheetos, nectarine and those little Japanese baby cookies (tamagoboro).
Mom was in a pretty good mood.
She likes her new dress.
Mom was sliding out of her wheelchair so Larry showed me how to tip the back of the seat and slide her up.
