Visit with MaMa

MaMa is my 92 year old grandmother. I call her Magga (don't know why, but that has been her name ever since I named her), but Blake started calling her MaMa so that is what she is known as by my kids. MaMa just moved in to a nursing home last year. She lived by herself until she was 88 and then moved into a retirement home 5 years ago. Last year, she had a spell that left her unable to stay at the retirement home and since she needed more round the clock care, we moved her into this home. She is not the same Magga that I used to know. It is hard to carry on a conversation with her. She sings and strolls in her wheelchair constantly even when we are there to visit. She is able to recognize our faces, but cannot call names. MaMa loves for us to visit and Blake and Bryson often ask to go see her. We went to visit her after Brett got his hearing aids and took some pictures. Here is MaMa with her 3 great grandchildren and all that she is getting from her granddaughter!!!!
