He could not move to stand up. No ability to motor plan. Seems to have happened rapidly as he made a sandwich at lunch. I thought he might be stiff from sitting so I offered assistance. He slipped in slow motion to the floor. I called 911. No answer. Called multiple times and gave up. Then they called me back finally. I am really really pissed about that. Great local ambulance team took him. I could not go. I am very worried here at home. 3 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Road Runner Posted September 22, 2021 Share #55 Posted September 22, 2021 I don't want to upset you, but I wonder if he could have an infection. Have they tried antibiotics? If infections aren't promptly treated, sepsis can occur. Very dangerous. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilbur ★ Posted September 22, 2021 Share #57 Posted September 22, 2021 Before they give him a broad spectrum antibiotic, make sure C-Difficile is ruled out. The two mix rather poorly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Road Runner Posted September 22, 2021 Share #58 Posted September 22, 2021 I'm sorry if this is upsetting, but it is better to be aware. Actress Tanya Roberts had a simple urinary tract infection. From Wiki: While hiking on December 23, 2020, Roberts developed lower intestinal pain and difficulty breathing. She returned home to rest. Very early the next morning she fell out of bed and found she could not get up. She was taken to Cedars-Sinai Hospital, where it was determined she had developed a urinary tract infection that had advanced to sepsis. Her illness was complicated by her history of hepatitis C. The body's immune response to her infection resulted in multi-organ failure. She had to be placed on a ventilator to help her with the work of breathing. Her partner, Lance O'Brien, was not allowed to see her due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Her condition deteriorated, and on 3 January 2021 she was taken off life support. O'Brien was finally then allowed to visit her. She died on the evening of January 4. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Airehead Posted September 22, 2021 Author Popular Post Share #93 Posted September 22, 2021 Let’s see. Fluid in both lower lung lobes but o2 level is excellent. Respiration is high. Temp spikes to 104.8 and down to 102.5. Blood in urine. No diagnosis yet. Culturing some things. This afternoon he is oriented to day and surroundings. He still cannot walk but with help he held a cup and used a straw. He is still in ER waiting for a bed but has been officially admitted. I am tried but calm and need a nap. As an aside. I put Paulie in the wrong crate this morning so he let himself out. Then he let Ryan out. He did not let Lindy out. Next he opened the closet door and chewed on one shoe. He did not eat the mail on the table or anything really bad. I feel lucky. Lindy is pissed. 1 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Airehead Posted September 22, 2021 Author Popular Post Share #94 Posted September 22, 2021 Oh and this—- Tim is still in the ER. His nurse has been trying to get him a bed to get him off the gurney. Bed came down. Now two nurses are fighting over it. Hospital is truly near capacity. Which isn’t funny but two nurses pulling a bed back and forth was funny. 2 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirby Posted September 22, 2021 Share #96 Posted September 22, 2021 You must be both physically and emotionally exhausted. I know it seems impossible, but try to take care of yourself as well. You'll be of no help to anyone if you can't function. I'm glad he is alert and responding to surroundings. This is a good sign. It is scary that they still haven't given you a diagnosis, the unknown always is unsettling. But you trust the doctors at this hospital and that should be comforting. And let's just assume Paulie is trying to keep you distracted from worry with antics. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are allowed in, do you have a power bank for your phone? I always found them useful when waiting at a hospital. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
