Sandy good luck with mom, hoping they figure out what is up... I still wonder about stroke ideas, as the mix up in her words and things working in her mind... cant stroke cause this?? anyhow, hugssss, sarah

hugss all. just woke from a 3 hour nap.. wow felt good...greeeeeeattt actually
not sure what is up for rest of day, the sun is out though, so I should sneak a walk in today, hugss,sarah

Sarah, that was the first thing we thought and Jim's doctor said the same thing. But these doctors don't think so and think it's related to the seizures. The neuro finally came in and thinks she is still having seizures and is going to run an eeg to find out. He seems to think they may have been going on all along unnoticed. He said the speech problem is a common symptom after a seizure so he wants to see if she starts to improve. He is not ruling anything out and said he needs to take one step at a time. I am not a good at waiting.

Jim's doctor did say if she had a small lacral (sp?) stroke there isn't anything that can be done to fix it and would explain her speech and cognitive problem. He did mention a brain biopsy but said at her age is that even worth the outcome since that could cause more problems? He said the best we can do is pray and hope the docs down there get it all figured out.

Now we need to decide if we should take a ride down there. I think I will wait and see how she is in the morning and after all the testing has been done.

Hi all Sandy will keep candles burning for all to be ok. Big huggs
Hope everyone else is ok. Warm huggs xxxxxxxx

Sandy -- Hope they can figure out what is going on and help your mom.

I feel like whining -- head is burning, body still "feels" like it is shaking, IBS, increased spasticity, and starting to have some symptoms on my right side -- partially numb toes and fingers. Up to this point, my problems have mainly been on my left side. I am so glad that Monday is over. I am hoping that this is not a flare. There is no sense in calling my neuro as I am not using steroids unless I am alot worse. Okay, I am done whining for now.

Oh, Barb ... sounding like a 'flare'... and you need to find a 'happy' place - you had alot of tension (with the girl with the cell/texting) ... and everyone being out sick most of this class ...

take a warm bubble bath ... listen to some good songs ... watch a romantic, funny movie ... you need some "BARB-time"....

hope you are doing better ...

Sandy - I do hope they figure your mom out quickly. Seizures can do mighty strange things. If she is having continuous seizure activity, that can certainly mess with her speech and thinking.
