Things looking better and better with my mom as the day progressed today-- language and reading pretty much all back to normal, amazingly.  What it's looking like is that the chemotherapy from her breast cancer treatments caused some damage to the blood vessels in her brain, making her especially susceptible to something like this, and fortunately the stroke was very minor and the quick treatment got rid of whatever clot there was and so nothing's even showing up as damage on the MRI.  She'll probably need to be on blood thinners to try and do whatever's possible to lower the risk of another stroke, but for now feeling pretty lucky that there's no lasting damage and she should be okay from this.
