Another dad update
4 Mar 2026 04:58 pmThey thought they had solved Dad's hallucinations but it was a false alarm.
The sequence of events so far is:
It seems his medical team is dealing with a mystery again. 😔
The sequence of events so far is:
- He starts hallucinating mildly, images of animals etc
- The visual hallucinations escalate steadily and include audio - first talking to absent people, then thinking he is in a variety of different places, finally briefly not recognizing my mom, though he did a minute later
- A new antibiotic is discontinued
- They find a UTI, but all mental symptoms stop, so they think the cause was the discontinued antibiotics
- He starts hallucinating again, more mildly, before the medical team has had a chance to agree to release him from the hospital
- He briefly recovers almost completely, but then gets worse again
It seems his medical team is dealing with a mystery again. 😔
