Tonights update is relatively good news. They may release to go home tomorrow but a few departments need to weigh in. Notably Neurology first, then PT/OT. They could also recommend a short stay in Rehab for physical therapy work.
I spoke to the neurologist tonight and they were going to have a meeting and then decide whether continue further tests to get to the root cause of the falling.
SF General is known for a top shelf Neurologics department, part of the reason the Paramedics took her there. YAY. Possibly we'll get a good holistic overview of the situation and maybe inject some clarity. The Neuro doc's performed some tests tonight when I was there and she did well on all of them. Spacial tracking, tuning fork neuro transmitter nerve tests.
Mom of course is not thrilled with being there another day and they have not broached the subject of an extended stay at a SNF for physical therapy. Jump off that bridge when we come to it.
