Mom ate poop

Saturday, October 19, 2019
I got a call at 6:00 a.m. this morning.  It was not an emergency.  In fact,  I ignored it thinking it was an election call.  The nurse left a message that mom was eating poop.  I called back at 8:00 am and was told that mom had been eating poop.  I sent an e-mail to Charlene and she went to check.
She spent 45 minutes trying to get the poop out of mom's mouth with a toothbrush.  She said most of it was stuck to the room of her mouth.  Poor mom.  Charlene made a heroic effort.
Turns out eating poop is very rare.

On Friday when Charlene went to visit mom, she said that mom was already put to sleep and put on her side because she has a sore on her bum.

Today, they are going to mostly sedate mom.  Poor mom.

I went to have dinner with mom.  Edward and Donna were there, but not Jackie.  Mom was better than what I was expecting.  She was alert.  She mostly cooperated with dinner.  She was talkative.  Later, we moved to the fish tank room.  She drank her beverages, ate some banana and some jello.  Mark chatted with us a bit about his dad.
I played with the balloon.  She didn't throw very far, but she laughed and enjoyed the activity.
Mom continued to drink her beverages and ate some cheetos, jello and banana.
She played with the bubble wrap a bit.
She seemed sad when I left.  She said something as I went out the door, but I couldn't understand.

I got mom a onesie from Walmart.
