Hiya Kitty,
Have you had mum to the doctor or the doctor out to see your mum? From what others say I know Urinary Tract Infections can increase confusion; maybe a urine test should be done. I know that there are "mini strokes" that are almost imperceptible but can cause changes.
No back to my original question, has mum seen the doctor, that must be your first port of call?
Best wishes, Amy
