UPDATE: Mom in hospital
Well, it looks like a stroke, but not a major one. She is somewhat numb, has a little bit of a slur, and no aphasia to speak of. They say if she doesn't give them a hard time (grin), she may get to go home next week. My sister is keeping an eye on Lucy the cat, who seems slightly worried.

Hugs and Purrs, Mark This actually sounds like very good news, Mark. I've known a number of people who had "mini-strokes" who definitely had aphasia but were otherwise fine and recuperated quite well. Do they know what may have caused it? A minor blockage? Pin-prick anneurism? Sometimes they have no clue. The brain is a strange thing. Purrs continuing for all of you (including Lucy the cat, of course). Jill |

UPDATE: Mom in hospital
I'm so glad they caught it early enough! The degree of severity of the
aftermath of a stroke is directly correlated to how quickly they can diagnose and treat it. Mega healing purrs are still coming for your mom. Please keep us updated on her progress.
