Sick

Hello again

Today when I arrived to see mom, I could not find her in the dinning room. I looked all over and then found out she was in bed. Apparently, after lunch today, mom became sick. She was throwing up, so they put her into bed. Really sick. All over the wheelchair, then on her pillow cases and comforter. Which all went into the wash.

I went to her room, and comforted her. I gave her something to drink. It was dinner time. As I had to see the doctor before I went to see mom. I had an early appointment, but had to wait to see him. So I wasn't able to get mom anything for dinner. It turns out, this was a good thing. It would of not been wise to feed her anything to harsh.

So we stuck with fruit, cheese, an avocado and her smoothie. Plus of course her drinks. Mom did not even eat her papaya tonight.. She must of been sick. As mom has not missed a day, without eating her papaya. She just wanted to be taken care of. To hold her hand and just let her rest. I only washed her face tonight. Plus put lotion on her face and feet.

I needed to change her night gown and the sheet, straighten her out in the bed. They always seem to have mom to low in the bed. Not the way mom likes it. OK maybe not the way I like mom to be in the bed. I only do it to make her comfortable. They did bring her the dinner, but mom did not want anything to do with it. Just what I had.

I sat with her for a long time, after I fed her, And let her fall asleep before I left. Of course when they came to change her, they woke her up. It took a while afterwards to get her to fall asleep again. But she did, after I sang her our good night song.

This is all I can say this evening. Maybe it is a good thing. I am not going on and on.

GOD bless and good night.
