[James Origins and Today] Chapter 39 - Taking Care of Mother's Daily Life (06/02/2023)

Since caring for my mother for two or three years, from hard care to happy companionship!

Everyone is trying to take care of it, very hard, anger is a day, happiness is also a day.

Mom is really old, mentally weak, and needs companionship. This care has changed her mindset from caregiver to companionship, and she feels that being able to accompany her mother is a blessing (every day is the mood of her last day as a companion).

Mom does not like sports now, I also use Mom to watch TV, lead her, accompany her with manual movements, feet move, and sometimes Mom will happily stand up and twist her waist, as long as she is happy. I wouldn't force her to do gymnastics.

I usually sit in the restaurant before my mother wakes up and wait for her to open the door. She will smile very brightly. I quickly hugged her and was happy with her. After that, I will accompany her all day to watch TV until 10 o'clock in the evening. Sometimes my mother's spirit will be good until 11 o'clock.

Mom's taste is very sensitive now (2022). Every meal will complain that the dish is too salty and the dish is not tasty. There are fish in the white rice, and she will also complain that "she does not have any food, you have lunch, she seems to eat poorly." '' At first I was angry, but when I thought it was my mother's last day with her, I thought it was okay because she was sick! Later, because my mother suffered from pulmonary failure and pulmonary edema one morning, she was transferred to the Zhongxiao Hospital of the Municipal United Hospital for emergency treatment and medical treatment. During the hospitalization, I was lucky to have my mother's taste abnormal to swallowing difficulty, and I suspected that someone put fish in the white rice together with medical treatment for mental abnormalities such as fantasy disorder. Thank you very much for the first aid of the Municipal United Hospital and the hospitalization of Zhongxiao Hospital and the medical team. Mom is because of the ion imbalance caused by the drug, and later returned to normal after treatment. I am glad that after this hospitalization, Mom can return to a more normal swallowing, taste and healing psychiatric (neurological) problems.

Mother does not like to take sputum (inhalation tube dilation). She always has to say good things. Although she knows that taking sputum is hard, she still has to coax her like a child. If she can't inhale for too long, don't be angry with her. Slowly tell her that I don't put too much pressure on myself (I often tell myself that today may be my mother's last day).

Now (2022), my mother's condition counts as one day, as many as she smokes, and as long as she smokes, she will try to do it, otherwise she will change the frequency a little more. Once every two or three days.

My mother had been sleeping late on the morning of January 1, 2023. I thought that my mother was in better physical condition and could sleep later, but at 9:30 am, close to 10 o'clock in the morning, I saw from the monitor that my mother's mouth had been spitting out thick green phlegm (Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection). I went in and immediately took his blood oxygen and found that his blood oxygen had dropped to a very low level (Respiratory failure pulmonary edema), hurry to call an ambulance 119, in the municipal peace hospital emergency, the doctor took the critically ill notice and abandoned the active treatment book to sign me, at that time I almost collapsed unconsciously crying, the mother and death are so close (even if there is usually more psychological preparation is not enough), this is as a child of man usually can not think Like sorrow and pain. Fortunately, after rescue and hospitalization for dozens of days of treatment, as mentioned above, Mom finally recovered her health, and also solved her abnormal taste and swallowing problems and psychiatric problems. Psychiatric problems can be solved, which is a very large burden for caregivers. I hope the elderly can be healthy.

The above is shared with you. I hope that after everyone is in a good mood, they can take care of their elders and seek their own physical and mental balance. They can also accompany their elders to live happily.
