Saturday.
I went to the NH about 4:50 PM. The bird feeders were full, blinds closed. Mom
was in the dining room, teeth in, no glasses. I accompanied her back to her
room. She propelled herself part of the way. C.N.A. Roxanne brought Mom’s tray.
Roxanne said that she would be on this Unit from now on. Mom’s glasses were in
her room. Mom did not eat well tonight. Mostly she chewed her food then spit it
out. The sweet & sour pork and veggies were good but she had no appetite.
She only ate about half of her strawberry ice cream. We channel surfed and
Roxanne came and got Mom’s tray. I assisted Mom into bed. Mom’s bed now has a
thin blanket in addition to her bedspread and lap blanket. I put cream on her
back and legs, brushed her hair. I left about 6:30 PM. Mom was out of sorts and
tired tonight. I suspect she went to activities and got treats and had fun.
There was a sing-a-long today.

Sunday. I went to the NH about 4:45. I fed the birds,
blinds closed. Yvonne and another C.N.A. were getting Mom up from bed and
dressed. The C.N.A. Jasmine brought Mom’s tray. Mom seemed hungry and ate about
half of her omelet, hash browns and biscuit plus one of the chocolate chip
cookies. I cleaned Mom’s nails and clipped them then gave Mom a fingernail
file. I put on Winged Migration during eating, sound down. Mom loved that but
when I asked her she said she wanted to see Fred A. I put on Top Hat but it
kept skipping so I changed it to 1940 Broadway. Roxanne retrieved Mom’s tray
and talked about art again. As a student she sold an art work for $500. I
assisted Mom into bed. Nurse Steve told me that Mom advocated for herself today
and was feisty. I cleaned her teeth, put her O2 on and left about 6:50 PM.
