A family friend brought her 4 week old son to visit my mother Wednesday night. My mother lit up like a Christmas tree and started talking about that baby in words that we could clearly understand. Yesterday, she didn't remember their visit until my brother reminded her. Again she started talking about that sweet baby. The brain is an amazing thing! Hers used to be more amazing than any of the rest of ours. She was so smart. In fact, she got married when she was 16 and continued to go to school and graduated valedictorian of her class. She never went to college, but she would have kicked butt if she had. She was thrilled that both her children got college degrees.

Have a great time...you do deserve it.
That is wonderful news about your mom ...you know she is still in there...something connected..gives you hope that she could be coherent if something would click and stay. Her mind maybe was stimulated a different way than usual with the baby. Maybe you could get them to visit often, he could be her therapy?
Does she like animals? A visiting dog or kitty might help too.
Anyway, I would make sure the mother knew how much that helped your mom and they are welcome and encouraged to visit anytime. :) Beth
So glad you are going! Good news about your Mom.
Maybe you could ask her doc if you could switch to baby aspirin....less side effects and effective as well.
