Another dad update

[cimorene]

They thought they had solved Dad's hallucinations but it was a false alarm.

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. 😔

I’m sorry this is happening. I hope they figure it out soon.
