Mom was sitting with Donna and some other ladies when I arrived. I took mom to her room, but she didn't want to be toileted. I took her to the television room and ate my lunch with her. I gave her some orange juice and Cheesies.
Mom is enjoying the bubble wrap.
Charlene came and massaged mom's legs.
Charlene made mom laugh.
I gave Charlene a piece of apple and then mom took a piece too. She had trouble eating it. She was kind of keeping it in her cheek for a long time. I gave her orange juice to drink. She kept making faces and saying it tasted like shit, but she drank sips of it.
She had none of the baby ice cream cones I made for her. I ate them.
She did not eat the banana, I ate it.
She did not eat the boiled egg. I ate one.
She ate very little.
She drank some water.

Mom's nails are blue
Saturday, April 27, 2019
Mom was sitting with Donna in the dining room when I arrived. There were sitting away from the main group. I took Donna and mom to the fish tank room.
I gave mom some bubble wrap. She played with it a bit, but then put it in her mouth.
I think she was hungry. I gave her a Cheesie and she ate it. I gave her some orange juice.
They took mom away to be weighed. She only weighs about 36 kilos with her clothes on.
Mom was very feisty today.
I took her to her room twice to toilet her. The second time she was ready. She got up and let me pull down her pants. She peed in the toilet. She stood up so that I could put on a new diaper and pull up her pants. She got in her wheelchair and I took her to the dining room.
She wouldn't eat any of her dinner. She only drank her apple juice. She seemed very happy with her blue nails and enjoyed showing them off.
After dinner, she ate another Cheesie and drank some Boost. She ate and drank very little.
I gave her some bubble wrap. She watched as I played Candy Crush and touched the screen.
I put a quilt over her legs, but she folded it up.

Mom is still alive and kicking
Friday, April 26, 2019
Mom maybe drank apple juice. She didn't touch her food or dessert. She ate a few Cheesies surreptitiously. She drank a few sips of milk and Boost. She wouldn't touch the cup ramen that I brought. I thought the smells might entice her. She wasn't interested in the pudding for dessert either.
She was happy to participate in the hit the balloon with the foam stick game, although she did refuse a foam stick at first. She was quite aggressive and grew impatient when Betty wouldn't hit the balloon.
She played with the bubble wrap a bit, but at times seemed more interested in her seatbelt.

Mom is so thin
Wednesday, April 24, 2019
Today was dad's birthday. He would have been 96.
Mom wasn't eating anything.
She drank a little apple juice.
She didn't drink any of her medication.
She enjoyed playing with bubble wrap.
She ate a few Cheesies.
I tried to toilet her. She got up from the wheelchair, walked to the toilet, sat on it, but refused to remove her pants.
She seems very animated.
She accidentally ate some apple sauce. I put a spoon in her hand and she put the apple sauce in her mouth. The second time, she tried to empty the spoon on the table.
I tried feeding her with chopsticks, but she would have none of it.
I also tried putting her medication in a coffee mug, but she would have none of it.

Hymn sing
Tuesday, April 23, 2019
I think mom drank her apple juice. She had poured tea into the empty cup. I took her tea and some milk and her apple sauce and sat her in the television room. She helped herself to some Cheesies and drank all of her clear tea and some orange juice. She wouldn't touch the apple sauce.
I gave her some bubble wrap and she enjoyed that.
She didn't want to wear her bib.
I took her to join the hymn sing-a-long. I was surprised that she sang along with one of the songs.
I put on my coat and my backpack and went to say good-bye. Mom told me to hurry up and go.

Mom takes a pee
Monday, April 22, 2019
Mom was sitting in the fish tank room when I arrived. There were no recreational activities today. Mom was very animated. I took her to her room. She took a pee.
I took her to the dining room. We missed coffee.
I tried to feed her the chocolate mousse that we had for dessert last night, but she would have none of it. I put some on her finger, but she wiped it off.
She did eat a few Cheesies and Doritos. She drank some water and orange juice, but very little.
She watched as I played Candy Crush. She liked the graphics, but soon became bored.
She is very animated. She likes to open her seatbelt. She likes to remove her bib and fold it. She likes to play with food. She needs to be occupied. She likes to wave at strangers and becomes sad when they don't wave back.

Easter Sunday
Sunday, April 21, 2019
Mom was sitting with the other girls when I arrived. She was still working on her Boost. In the end, I threw it out. She still hadn't touched it by lunch.
I took mom for a little ride around. I took her to the chapel and tried to ply her with food: fresh raspberries, Cheesies, ice cream cone, orange juice, soft-boiled egg, etc. She ate a few raspberries, Cheesies and I was able to feed her some almost melted ice cream with a spoon! She shoved the Cheesies, in her pants. Later she wrapped the soft boiled egg, raspberries and melted ice cream cone in paper towels and shoved those down her pants. She didn't put up a fight when I removed them. She knew she was busted.
She participated enthusiastically for a bit with the arm class. She was kind of confused about what to do and started asking questions. She was engaged. I took her away because I think she was becoming disruptive and she didn't put up a fuss.
I took her to her room thinking to toilet her. I cleaned up the bathroom in preparation. However, she had other plans. She ended up taking me for a walk. I wonder if she was trying to escape. I kind of felt like she was trying to get rid of me. We walked back to her room and I put her back in her wheelchair. I think she was getting tired. I wheeled her into the dining room to sit with Donna. I gave Donna a big hug. Her hug squeezed the tears from my eyes. Mom looked grouchy. I know she doesn't like public displays of affection. Although she has given me hugs in private.
