Since mom's stoke on Wednesday, the concern was that she's sleeping a lot. The origin of this concern was a comment from the ER doctor. It turns out that his comment was based on the initial brain scan which did not show swelling. Twenty four hours later, the second scan showed the swelling and extent of the damage. It wasn't until today, when my brother talked to the attending physician, that we learned that mom's sleeping is a good thing. She's resting until the swelling subsides. This is expected.

It's good news.

It's also frustrating to get small pieces of information that you try to understand without having the big picture. I understand that it will take time and I'm not expecting immediate answers. I'm just hoping to get enough pieces of the puzzle to interpret what's going on.

Tomorrow is another day... and hopefully we'll have another piece of the puzzle.
