Colleen,
The steroid is like walking a tightrope. Too much and it causes a lot of side effects. Too little and the brain swelling causes the neurological sysmptoms, cognitive problems, etc. If you haven't yet called the doctor do so today even though it is Sunday and you feel you are "bothering" the doctor by calling and having him/her paged. The dose of the steroid may need to be adjusted. I am able to tell by my wife's actions when the brain swelling is increasing. If my wife exhibited the symptoms your mother has I would be on the phone with the doctor.
Hope it all works out. If the WBR works for your mother they will be able to get her off the steroid and things will improve. My wife has reoccurred after about 3 months respite after the WBR but at least she got to see our new granddaughter who was just born.
