Sudden onset garbled speech

Question

Asked for Female, 30 Years

My mother is 63 and been suffering from forgetfulness for some time. Since the last couple of days, she has difficulty forming coherent sentences and also following a train of thought. Her sentences begin with one topic and end on another completely different. I got a CT scan and blood tests done. I am attaching those. The problems with speech and cognition seem to increase as afternoon approaches. She has diabetes, thyroid problems, and hypertension. She has previously been successfully treated for hepatomegaly and stomach ulcer. Very recent USGs came back normal. Please help. It is very difficult to meet with doctors or get appointments in this overwhelming situation with covid.
