Things change so fast. Blink of an eye and you don't realise.
My mum had a mini-stroke this afternoon. Doesn't remember that I came around this morning, doesn't remember the garden she planted yesterday and today, doesn't even remember the big holiday we're going on in May next year.
Physically, she's fine. But there are things she can't remember: events, things, the prime minister, the party she's having on Monday.
People she has no trouble with - my sisters and I, my stepdad, my uncle, her boss.
She's having trouble remembering what happened to her - she's asked my stepdad what happened to make him worried about her three times so far. We're taking her to the hospital now.
eta 10:45pm: Back home from hospital. They did a barrage of tests, but no updates yet. Mum's short-term memory's still gone - she didn't remember that we came with her to the hospital, so after we came back from a couple of hours in the waiting room, she was surprised to see us. They'll keep mum in overnight for observation and we'll go back in tomorrow.
Thanks for the prayers and thoughts and well-wishes.
