update on mum

[tielan]

Uncle #1 (doctor...actually, all the uncles on my maternal side are doctors...) texted me last night. They think it's Transient Global Amnesia. Meaning it should be temporary, and it's not localised to any one thing.

Anyway, late last night she started remembering things - the party she's having, and other bits and pieces. So it's probably not permanent.

Here's hoping and praying!

Am debating going and visiting her in hospital, or waiting until she gets home. Maybe decide later on today once they determine if she's going to stay another night or come home. The stepdad will need help with her, especially if her memory's not 100%.

Not the weekend I planned to have, but when is it ever?

Thanks again for the well-wishes and stuff, guys.

*hugs* I'm glad it sounds like it's not permanent, and that she's getting better. That's got to be awfully scary. *sends good thoughts*

You, your family, and your mother will be in my thoughts, and I hope her recovery is swift and strong. Our mothers are the ground we stand on to take on the world, so when they are stricken the world becomes a very shaky and insecure place very fast.

So sorry for your hard times, but I take comfort in the fact that your family at least has many doctors to demystify the journey somewhat.

Good to hear that she will be OK hon. Take care of her and yourself.
