Hello again
So last night was one of mom's nights that she was very tired. So tired that she had her eyes closed while I was feeding her. It is a good thing that she trusts me enough to let me feed her while almost asleep. I say sleep eating is what she was doing.
I got her into bed and myself and a staff member cut mom's nails on her left hand. The hand that is clenched all the time. I washed it afterwards and put on lotion. Then her nightly spa treatment. The nurse came in early and gave mom her nightly medication. And within 15 minutes mom was snoring. Sound asleep. Holding tightly onto my hand. It was hard for me to gently get my hand free, without waking her up. I gave mom a hug and sang our song to her. Gave her a kiss goodnight.
That was last night.
Tonight mom was hungry, OK she ate last night, but not allot. So mom ate some of what I brought her and all of what she was served. I brought her stuffed chicken and a seafood salad. She was OK with it, but preferred the, Roast beef and mashed potatoes. She ate anyways, and that is all that matters.
I couldn't get mom's hair washed last night, because she was so tired and tonight the room was being used by other individuals. So I couldn't do it tonight as well. But there is tomorrow. And I will get their early,to do this.
But our nightly routine was done and I had extra time to just stand their and hold her hand. And mom had this huge smile on her face while she fell asleep. This just makes me feel so good and warm inside. The love that I have for my mother and she for me is demonstrated by the smile she has on her face while falling asleep.
I needed to leave tonight, and the nurse didn't come and give mom her medication. So she will wake her up to do this.
Now it is the new year and mom's roommate still has not been moved. Other people are moving into the place, but they still can't do this. Though I have complained many time already. So now I will be going to the MLA and bringing my concerns to them. I am tired of nothing being done.
They just keep ignoring me and this will stop. I don't care anymore, what they think. Mom needs her rest and she needs to have the lights out at night and not have someone constantly hallucinated.
I will bring this up with the manager tomorrow and let her know that I will be contacting the MLA if the roommate is not moved.
And I am suppose to get a letter to accompany the invoice for mom's leg rests. The OT is the one who brought this up. I need it, or maybe not, to get a refund for the price of the leg rests.
I will write her after I finish this
So I will end this now.
GOD bless and good night.
