Still in bed, rookie nurses attending to mom's wound

Tuesday, November 12, 2019
Mom was in bed when I arrived shortly after 11 am.  I took the day off work.  The nurse trainees had just given my mom a sedative.  They said they would be back in 20 minutes.  I quickly went to work to get mom to drink her beverages.  They were probably left over from the morning  She drank most of her Boost and her apple juice.  She told me that the apple juice was "nice." I was happy to see that she was wearing her blue onesie.  Come to think of it, I haven't seen her cranberry onesie.  I cleaned her up because she had dried up Boost in the hollows of her neck.
A trainee came back and said that they would see to my mom's bum sore after the break.  I was concerned that the sedative would wear off, but the aide said it would last for 4 hours.
I went to heat up my lunch.  When I got back, I was told that they were working on the sore on my mom's bum and they would finish in half an hour.  Larry told me that he had collected mom's lunch and left it in the room.
When I came back half an hour later, they were still not finished.  I was concerned.  Another ten minutes later, someone told me that they were done.  Mom looked uncomfortable and was puffing air.
Mom slept for half an hour and was snoring.
Zorka's son came to see her.  I suspect it was because she wouldn't get out of bed.  I suspect she has Alzheimer's.  She always asks about mom and if she will get better.  Maybe mom and Zorka shouldn't be in the same room.
I managed to get some lunch into mom.  Mostly she was cooperative, but had trouble holding the cup.
