wheelchair information

Saturday, September 14, 2019
Mom was sitting at the dining table when I arrived.  Everyone was there.  An aide was helping to feed Donna. 
Ailene(?) had mixed mom's milk and Boost in a coffee mug.  I thought mom had done it.
I poured it back into a clear cup later.
Mom ate a little of her pureed food.  She drank some of her soup.
I took her to the fish tank room.  I let her play with bubble wrap, but she tried to eat it.
I massaged her legs.
I gave her the new Korean seaweed snack I bought from Costco.  She liked it.  However, the second piece she put in her pureed soup.  She did eat an additional piece later.
She ate all of her vanilla pudding!
There was a balloon activity but she didn't seem to be participating too much.  Whether the facilitator was skipping her or mom was asleep, I don't know.  I know when the facilitator saw I was watching, she included mom. 
I tidied up mom's closet.  There were a lot of hangers.  Also, I found Joan's nightgown in mom's closet.  There was another nightgown which was huge which was hanging in mom's closet.  I took it back to the nurses' station. 
Mom had a lot of single socks.
At coffee time, I noticed mom was sliding down in her wheelchair.  I asked an aide to help me lift her, but I think she didn't know what to do.  Anyways, she got a recreation aide to help me.  I learned that the left lever moves the back of the chair up and down and the right lever moves the whole wheelchair back.  Then we each grabbed a leg and an arm and pulled mom up.
Mom's legs were kind of crossed. 
Andrew and another guy, have physiotherapists I think.  I asked that guy, but I'm not sure he understands what I am talking about.
