Yeah this was in the course of hospitalization for something else, so she's had a workup. She had a seizure and delirium from the flu, and when acute illness causes neurological symptoms, that's supposed to be a red flag for underlying dementia. So I guess that's one thing he's going on. But she's bounced back from that remarkably well and seems pretty much back to normal (to me)
