I'm sorry your mother has to deal with this. Having a mystery diagnosis can be really taxing.

My mother has been having headaches and was admitted to our local hospital due to high blood pressure. She was dismissed the following day. Yesterday which was the day after she was showing some concerning symptoms. So we took her to the hospital again and she was transferred to UK. We have been in the er all night they think she has had a stroke. Thankfully she is doing pretty well considering.

I am just seeing this I hope all is well and a speedy recovery

Thanks so much y'all, I cannot express enough how much your thoughts and prayers mean to our family.
She her blood pressure is lower, still fluctuating but hasn't been as extreme as it was. She is able to walk on her own but needs some one with her at this time when she does. She can talk but gets words mixed up and sometimes can't think of the right word to use, and that gets her frustrated. I have been emotional the last few days, she has been there for me so much over the years. It has been difficult to see her aging especially the last few years. Not too many years ago she would help me open gates to separate cattle until it got too risky for her to be around the cattle. When we work our heifers she always comes out and writes down the pelvic measurements and figures them, and rights the new tag numbers down when we change them for the sale.
I tell her I love every day, but tonight when we left the hospital I fought back tears when I told her. I told her that it was going to be alright and we were just going to have to work through it. She agreed, but hen I think she wanted us to go home so we could rest but I think what she really meant was so she could rest. She had several visitors today which she enjoys but tries to stay awake and hear whats going on. So after a few nights of this ordeal and little if any sleep she was just wanting to sleep.

Sleep/rest is so important after a brain injury. (And hard to get in a hospital!). Don't feel bad about leaving her from time to time (and at night) so she can rest and heal. Hopefully she'll regain all/most of her functions, over time.

Thanks again everyone, our family really appreciates your thoughts and prayers. Mama seems to be doing much better today. She is still mixing up or forgetting some of her words but not as much as yesterday. With a therapist she walked around the hall in the hospital and though she got tired she was able to. She still has a ways to go. They say she had 2 strokes, and are recommending rehab, I am very thankful and hopeful that she may recover pretty much back to her self. I hope that she will be able and willing to work with the therapists, she says she will but then also says she doesn't want to have to learn things over again The doctor said today that she should show most of the improvement that she will make within around 2 weeks, then a little more so over the course of a year. After a year the doctor said that whatever her condition was at that point would be what it would be.

That is not completely true.
The most improvement will be early on but a friend of my wife had a bad stroke and continued to make improvement well past a year. But she had the attitude that she simply would not quit.
What the MD says may usually be true but they read the book and pronounce it as gospel fact. :bs:
One of the hardest things was when I was with my mother and the MD told her she would never walk again. A few weeks later she took off walking down the hall much to the therapist surprise.
Unfortunately other problems arose but that is a different story.
But your mother doing her therapy religiously really matters. So many just refuse to do it.

I have been in the position you are in now and it ain't fun.
No matter how things go do your best not to let it get you down. You can do your best to help but you can't do more than you can do.
