Linus32 Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 I called my mom this afternoon to check on her and she had a heck of a time talking. She could say 2 or 3 words at the beginning of a sentence and the rest was just jibberish. She could clearly say the jibberish (If that makes sence) but it make no sence. The Hospice nurse thinks brain mets may have been the cause. It really makes me CRAZY to not know what the heck happened today! I am thinking maybe a seizure. Either way, it was so scary. After a little while she was back to herself. Anyone ever hear of anything like this? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connie B Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 This happened to my sister who had brain mets as well. My sister had little seizures and she was unable to talk clearly. Her son called her one day, and the same thing happened to him that you went through. Scared the daylights out of us too. Prayers to you and your mom.

mamasbabygirl Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 Yes, sounds very familiar to me. When my mom first starting having seizures, she could not tell the paramedics her name for a few minutes afterward. But a few minutes later, she was back to normal. Is she living alone right now? If someone is there to witness it, you'd know for sure. I'm sure this is stressing you out big time. Hang in there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slinaresholz Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 Sometimes the oxygen level drops too low and your Mom may not be getting enough oxygen to her brain. This happened several times with a friend of mine with lung cancer. They may have to raise her level of oxygen. Hope she is okay!
