Atria called to tell me they were sending my mother to the ER. They
said she had fainted and was "disoriented" and that her blood pressure was
"sky high." They sent her to Sutter Davis Hospital (where I volunteer) and I
rushed over there. She was scared and confused but I kept explaining
things to her and got her laughing.
They ran every test in the book including another CT scan,
chest x-ray, EKG and tests on every possible body fluid. All came back
normal. The doctor had no clue what the problem is but suggested maybe
getting an EEG to rule out seizure disorder was recommended.
After reviewing everything I know about what happened, I think that Atria
people were just seeing one of her "spells" for the first time and to be
safe sent her off to the ER. I am going to talk with them tomorrow.
I am going to have lunch with my mother and then spend a few hours with her
just to kind of take stock of how she is and if she faints again.
It's not time to plan her funeral just yet.
But it looks like
I'll be taking her back to the doctor again soon.
