Wednesday.
I didn’t go to NH today. Carl called about 7:30 PM asking about getting Mom to
bed and I explained about teeth cleaning. An email from Regina at Hospice says Mom seems better.

Thursday.
I went to the NH about 9 AM. Mom was in the big TV room. I got her a hat and
said hello then picked up my paintings from Activities. I saw photos of their
event yesterday. I returned to the NH about 4:40 PM. I fed the birds, blinds
partially open. I went to Mom room and saw Souhange in bed, looking ill. There
was a wastebasket with what looked like vomit in it. Mom was in the Great Room
eating a banana. Donna from activities said that they had birthday cake also
today before the Bingo. I wheeled Mom back to her room and C.N.A. Sandra
brought Mom’s tray. C.N.A. Roxanne came
and took Souhange’s temperature and I overheard “no temp.” C.N.A. Sandra
returned with a tray of clear soup, jello and such for Souhange. Souhange did
not eat and had O2 on. Mom did not eat well. Only a few bites of the chili,
half of the cornbread and a few bites of fruit were all she ate. Mom and I hung
up clothes, then sang and danced. The birds and the acrobatic squirrel put on a
show today. We did some breathing and read a new letter from Quembe. I returned Mom’s tray to the hall cart. Mom
wanted to go to bed and so I assisted her into her nightgown and into bed. I
put the DVD back on Fred A/Ginger R. and gave Mom a caramel. I left with dirty
clothes to wash. Mom was cheerful and alert to her environment. She could not
remember which of her sisters was Quembe’s Mom and could not name her sisters.
