Mom just called me and she's back from the appointment with Oma... they were there for 3 hours! And my uncle was there too, which was really good since now Oma can't accuse mom of making things up since there was another "witness" there.
Oma does NOT have Alzheimers, which is great! Her memory loss is likely related to the mini-strokes she's had in the last few years and restricted blood flow to the brain. They have prescribed medication that will help this and they are going to do more tests to confirm that this is what the problem is. The doctor is notifying the MTO that Oma can't drive, so that's official now, which is good. So, all in all, it was very positive, and we are relieved that she doesn't have Alzheimers!!!

I hope the doctors can find something to help her. No alzheimer's is great news!
I'm glad your uncle has finally taken some of the responsibility. That would be a lot for just your mom to handle.
