I think, your wife needs a general medical checkup. Because, slurred speech and drooling are not sufficient symptoms to conclude as alzheimer's. It is advisable to perform an MRI scan.

To my knowledge, Alzheimers doesn't present with head pain and slurred speech prior to the confusion, etc...But TIA's (mini strokes) and CVA's (actual strokes) do...Has she had a CAT scan? Or an MRI to check for blood vessel problems or a tumor? This is something that needs to be done NOW. If she's had previous tiny strokes the scans will show areas of damage...If she's had these tests done right after an episode, get another radiologist to read the actual scan...Sometimes small, but devastating things are missed by one set of eyes, and picked up by another...Your email got crossed out in the submitting...
