Thanks to everyone for your prayers and well wishes. My Mom was taken to a Stroke Center. She went right from the ambulance to the CAT Scan. So from onset of symptoms to the scan was 45 minutes. They are going to admit her for more tests and observation for two days. My Sis is an NP (can't remember all the stuff that goes after that, lol). She said she noticed a difference in my Mom over the past 2 weeks or so, and had her at the doctor's office yesterday for some testing, all of which was Within Normal Limits.
She came back this morning to find Mom talking gibberish, but she was aware she was doing it and getting very frustrated. That's when my Sister called the ambulance. Now, Mom's waiting to get a room. I'm going up later this evening to visit. I did speak with her on the phone... her words were slurred but not too badly, and she stayed on topic. I'm scared bc she's already on blood thinners for her heart. She wasn't bad off enough to require the initial treatment for stroke patients, so that's good... I'll update when I find out more. Thanks again. Kathy |
