It has been about two weeks since her last shower. I wear light clothing and get in there with her and help her and make sure she doesn't fall. She has a shower seat, she has a shower head on a hose. I make sure the water is not too hot or too cold. I 'm careful to not spray it in her face and give her time to cover her eyes/ears when I rinse her face and hair, I ask her what she wants to wash next, she gets a nice warm robe afterward, etc. etc. Her last shower, she kept saying, "Oh, that feels so good" when she was under the warm water, when I was shampooing her hair, etc. and she admitted she felt better afterward. But between showers she fights it tooth and nail, and says, "not now" or "not today". I think she would resist even more if I offered to use a warm washcloth instead of a shower, because it would still mean taking off her clothes and being cold, and I don't think it would do as much good as an actual shower.
Any suggestions?
