Did they describe it as a TIA?
Hang in there, they have some pretty effective meds for stroke nowadays. It's a good thing that quick action was taken.
Prayers....
Update: Thank you all so much, I don't have much time to write but it turns out my mom had an aneurysm. They were able to repair it surgically on Friday afternoon and she came through the surgery fine. We are still so worried. She is in the ICU on a ventilator/ feeding tube. But luckily has been moving her arms and legs. Just today she opened her eyes. She is still in a light coma though.
We are preparing ourselves for a long recovery with ups and downs.
Thank you so much for keeping us in your prayers.
If any FReepers have gone through this, your advice is much appreciated.
