Mom is in bed

Saturday, October 26, 2019
Mom was in bed when I arrived.  The nurse said that mom's carrier was in the wash so they couldn't take her out of the bed.  I hope mom gets out for dinner.
Because mom was kind of dopey, I decided to wash her hands and cut her nails.  There was blood and poop.  I know where they keep the extra clippers now.  I accidentally cut one of mom's fingers the ring finger on her right hand.  There was blood.  I felt so bad.  Mom seemed okay.
I was able to feed mom all of her mushroom soup, most of her fortified Boost, Boost, and apple juice and some of her milk.  She ate a few small pieces of cheese, cracker, green beans and carrots.
She laughed a bit. 
I could hear her tummy rumbling.
I put the white gloves on mom, but she took them off.  I put them on again and she took them off.
I let her hold the hedgehog.  She was so cute. 
She tried to put her left hand under the covers, but I tried to discourage her.
I checked her legs.  They were lifted and there was no pillow between her knees.  I put a pillow between her knees.
The nurse said that there was more blood this morning and that she had had a bowel movement.
Mom seemed fine.
Mom's wheelchair pillow was in the washroom.  The same aide that showed me where the nail clippers were,  complained about the pee-soaked pillow in the bathroom.  It was removed.
Mom's sandwich pieces and apple juice arrived, but mom was dozing off.
Mom seemed sad when I left.
