What Causes Drooping Mouth?

My 73 year old mother has changed a lot over the last year. We ve been to a neurologist and had an MRI, EEG, ultrasound of the carotid artery, and blood tests, and they ve all been normal. However, it is apparent that she s not the same. Her mouth droops somewhat to one side, her speech is much slower and deliberate, and her balance is not good.
