Aug 1

Something has gone horribly wrong. The Neurologist tested Mom yesterday and confirmed that somehow she managed to be deprived of O2 to the brain. She is acting like she's had a stroke but she probably has not. I know what it is but Hurley may not admit it. She has gotten more than a handful of secretion blockages in her trach that caused her O2 level to go down significantly while family was there to do something about it. Since she was doing great Monday am not not on Tuesday am, sometime in that 24 hour block they probably let her lie there and practically suffocate. This is bad. bad bad bad

For example, if you ask her to draw a circle, she doesn't understand what you're asking her. She just looks at you like she's waiting for you to ask her something. She can hear, she just can't process. It's too early to know if this is temporary or not. This is bad. bad bad bad
