Mom is breathing laboriously

Tuesday, November 26, 2019
Mom was lying in bed.  She was breathing with her mouth open.  The wrinkles in her forehead were gone, but her eyes were weird so I could tell that she was drugged.  At some point, she seemed wide awake so I gave her a teaspoon of apple juice.  I didn't see her swallow it.  She opened and closed her mouth.  Her body was still warm.  Her legs were cool, but not cold.  Eventually, she seemed to be sleeping.  There was an odour.
The aide said that she would be given a sponge bath later tonight.
The nurse said that mom had blood from her bowel and a piece of poo had been dislodged.  She had been given an enema.
I cried.  But maybe mom will look better tomorrow.
