Some Good News For A Change

[maggier]

Hi everyone, Just had to share our good news, My husband and I have just become grandparents for the first time, we have a beautiful baby granddaughter named Faith (good name eh!) and this makes my mum a great grandma for the first time. Mum has vascular dementia and for the past several months we have been struggling a bit with each new challenge that has been thrown at us. Anyway you all know how awkward they can appear to be (not really awkward but the dementia rearing it's ugly head) well , when my son and his girlfriend visited mum with the new baby her face absolutely lit up. It was like she was 5 years younger and you would not have thought there was anything wrong with her at all. She sat and nursed the baby, and kept saying how beautiful she was. We were there quite a while with her and she was brilliant. That night when my brother went to see mum she told him all about the baby and what colour her hair was and how bonny she was. (mum always loved babies and was a brilliant nanna to all her grandchildren)

It just proves to me that mum is still there somewhere and since the visit she has been very bright and quite bubbly. It has obviously done her the world of good!! can't wait for their next visit.

Hope you don't mind me posting this here, but felt I wanted to share this with you all.

Love

Maggie x x x

Congratulations Maggie, it's great to hear how good your mum was with the baby.

My mum has 2 great grandchildren but has only seen one of them and only a handful of times at that. My niece had her second child around June last year and when she sent my mum a birthday card in July promised to bring the children to see my mum 'soon'. She's still waiting and I am sure it would mean a great deal to her to see them. Also, my aunt visited her the other week and then said she had to get home to look after her grandchild, which would be my mum's great niece. I wondered why on earth they couldn't have brought the baby to see her. I am sure a lot of the old people would love to see the babies. My mum was even cooing over Tracey Barlow/s daughter on Coronation Street the other night!
