Comfort care

Wednesday, November 20, 2019
Mom was in bed again.  Jackie told me to ask the nurse why mom was in bed.  The nurse said that mom is now in comfort care.  I guess it is like death protocol.  But, Jackie said that I could ask for mom to be put in her wheelchair.  I'm supposed to talk to the nurse tomorrow.
Zorka looked pretty bad today.  One of the aides came and helped her eat.  Zorka was so weak, she couldn't even hold the cup to her mouth.  I helped her with a few sips of milk and apple juice.
Mom was watching.  I think they both look at each other and think the other is dying.
Mom was really thirsty.  She even grabbed the cup and tried to feed herself.  Her movements are jerky.  Poor mom.  She drank most of her Boost and apple juice.  She ate a little of the pureed peas.  She ate a Cheetos.  I massaged her legs.
I asked about mom's bowel movement.  Diane said she had a small bowel movement last night.
I put the headset on mom and she seemed to enjoy it.
