"also, it is unlikely your wife would be the only one suffering, if hypoxia was the cause."
I'm no medical expert, but surely an attendant is more at risk of hypoxia if she is running around the cabin looking after passengers.
I seriously hope she contacted both a company doctor and her local doctor. Slurring of words is certainly something you should not ignore irrespective of the cause.

(Edit) From Wikipedia... "In the case of altitude sickness, where hypoxia develops gradually, the symptoms include headaches, fatigue, shortness of breath, and nausea."
