sunday

My mom was driving today when she crossed the center line, went down an embankment, and came to a stop after she crashed into a gate surrounding tennis courts.
She couldn't get out of the car, and no one was around to help.
She called all of her daughters house phones, none of us were home.
She was confused. She did not call 911 or dad. After 30 or 40 minutes she saw a young couple and yelled to them for help.
They called 911 and stayed with mom until help arrived.
My nephew, the 13 year old with a lawn care business is also an honorary fireman.
He was at the station when they got the call and he responded to the scene. One of my oldest sisters heard the call go out over her scanner, was close by and had a feeling it was mom. So she got there as the EMT's were arriving......and another sister arrived as mom was being put on the gurney.
Mom thinks she passed out prior to going over the embankment......she's not sure.
We spent most of the afternoon and evening at the hospital.
Mom was admitted.
They're not sure what happened. Her cardiac enzymes are elevated..........she may have had a heart attack.........not sure yet. She said she had trouble lifting one of her legs today "it was sticking on the carpet."
She's had a definite change in cognition the past week or two.
She did not have a stroke.
Noy sure what'sgoing on......
