3:30pm: They're discharging her. I'm guessing that means her memory's (mostly) back. Stepdad seems to think she's okay. There'll be a few more tests, but it looks like we're out of the woods. At least for the moment.

I'm going around to cook dinner now. Stepdad cancelled the party on Monday and has arranged for her to get the week on leave. (Which she'll just spend gardening. But that's relaxing, too!) Everyone's going to be keeping a careful eye on her for the next few days, though!

8:45pm: She's okay. Her memory's back up to the point at which we think she had the brain blip. Then she doesn't remember anything until late last night when she started recalling stuff. Had dinner at their house tonight. Cue lots of jokes about remembering, etc. Seems okay and we're very grateful.

Thanks for the support, guys.

I'm glad it's turning out OK! Hopefully this won't happen again. Did they say why or is it one of those things that happens and no one knows why?

Right now it's one of those things that happens. The tests they did turned up nothing unusual and her memory is back (except for the 8 hours when she had no event or short-term memory) so she's going back in for a few more tests and hopefully it was an anomaly and won't happen for, oh, another thirty years or ever again.
