On a serious note do you think this is a left over from her supposed TIA (probably a stroke in reality) or is this a series of TIA's that is ongoing? As you know multi TIA's are many times a precursor to a major CVA. I think all agree there is some type of neurological issue going on.
TIAs are a possibility and can be brought on by dehydration. In her case, however, I think these episodes are seizures and the proximate cause is the TBI back in 2013.

I am basing this on the very rapid recovery time of the latest incident on Sunday. If these were TIAs I cannot believe her medical team would not hospitalize her for a stroke work up. She's been having multiple incidents and that would be expected for seizures secondary to the TBI. They have her managed with oral anti-convulsants and are monitoring her for incidents.

If these were TIAs then there is medical malpractice here. Her doc wouldn't do that. JMHO
