Most recent and reliable report I have is it was not a stroke, but rather very low electrolytes. A different hospital seems to have a better grasp of what her needs are.... So I took that as a positive development.

Absolutely correct Ross. Thanks. I think we may be out of the woods.
Docs told me that her sodium and potassium livels were so low they were shocked that she was still conscious.

Good news! One would think our health care system would be getting better, but that is NOT our own experience from issues we have experienced in missed or erroneous diagnosis.

Landmark Hospital misdiagnosed her condition TWICE. They actually said she had an heart issue which, as it turns out, is totally incorrect.

Having been there, although probably not as severely, the symptoms resemble a mild stroke or TIA. Loss of balance particularly.

Another common symptom is arrhythmia which may be why there was a cardiac event misdiagnosis.
