Hi Facebook friends and family. First chance to write up a medical report.
Tony had to get dialysis yesterday, because he was so bloated from water
retention. He has a severe case of delirium that comes & goes. He doesn't
even know how to operate his phone. U of M Neurology is giving him a 4 hour
EEG to check brain wave activity. He also has tremors, which are really
getting worse. He has unintelligible speech, & invented vocabulary. We're
looking for seizure like behavior, he is epileptic. Later tonight, he goes
for an MRI. They took out the Foley catheter yesterday, but he has very
little urine output. The prednisone that he has to take for the rest of his
life has made him very restless, agitated & uncooperative. He can't get to
the bathroom by himself, cause he's a fall risk. He tries to get out of
bed, so theres a robot monitor in his room, that sees him getting up, &
tells him to stay in bed. Then the nurse comes in to help with the problem.
There is also a patient assistant i
n the room to watch him & help to prevent him from getting out of bed. He
also goes to dialysis soon. I never slept last night, so I have to rest
now. We definitely won't be leaving here for awhile. I feel the UTI is
contributing to the cognitive issue. I'll give another report when I know
more.❤️🫂 Linda👩🦰
