update on mum

[seldear]

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.

That's good news about your Mum, Sel.

Take care :)

I'm glad it seems the memory loss isn't permanent! That's good news! I hope your mom is better soon, and I will hold you and your family in my prayers. *hugs*

Glad things are looking up. If I may sound like a mom, don't forget to get some rest. Take care of yourself too.

So glad she's starting to feel better and remember things.

*hugs* All the best to you and your family.

Hey hon - sorry I missed this before - I hope your mum makes a full recovery very soon.

Sending hugs around/through the world!

I'm glad things are looking up!

Are you still okay for the movie tomorrow? I understand if you need to be with your family instead.

I've just seen your last two posts, not sure how I managed to miss them, sorry.

My Mum had a mini stroke just over a year ago. It is very distressing for all the family, especially for Mum too. Hang in there. Praying :)

That's a little good news at least, I hope she keeps improving. *hugs*

I had dinner with mum last night, and all seems normal. Thanks for the prayers - they were very much appreciated!

*hugs*

Thanks!

Hey, no problem. I periodically miss other people's updates, too. *hugs*

Things are looking promising, and she has the whole week off, so a lot of time to relax and de-stress. The only thing we have to go on is the fact that she was stressed the day it happened.

Pfft. I miss other people's updates all the time.

And, yeah, I think we're all going to be a little on edge after this. It's just been...stressful. I think mum was more worried by the fact that everyone else was worried while it was happening. Now, I think she's a little bit concerned about possible trigger causes, but she's otherwise pretty easy-going about it.

She seems to be back to her usual state - just without those six hours while it was happening. It's definitely a relief to us.
