"Who Is Mississippi?"

This morning, Sean asked me who was Mississippi? I tried to explain that it was a place that we were going to, like when we went to Texas. I'm not sure if he understood. He was very excited that Nanny was riding with us to visit my grandma. He even got the wording right. He said that he has a Maw Maw (my mom) and that I have a grandma.
He loved seeing great Aunt Betty and Uncle Bubby. I told him that my grandma was sick and he must have heard us say something about being old, because he started to refer to her as "the old grandma"! Sean provided us with much needed comic relief.
My grandma looked skeletal. It was so sad. We got her to the hospital and she perked up once she had an IV. I think a skilled nursing unit in a nursing home, would be best for her. I'll be planning a return trip to MS, soon.
