2/7/24 - Update on Hubby

When I spoke to my husband yesterday morning, he was fairly lucid; however, the nurse called me in the afternoon to tell me they had to put him in restraints again. I told her about the past incidents that made me think that he has dementia; and I persuaded her to talk to the doctor about getting him an MRI. She called later on to tell me that they were going to take him for the MRI right then. I don't know the outcome as yet. Prayers and thoughts would be appreciated. Thank you. Photo Credit: Pixabay

It is good that you were able to convince the nurse to have the doctor order the MRI. I am praying for you both, as well as for his caretakers. Please stay strong, do what you can to be organized and prepared for any news that may come of this.

Nothing significant on the MRI. They are going to be doing more testing.

@Juliaacv I'm still hoping that it's hospital delirium.

I am glad that the doctor will go to take your husband for the MRI, they will sedate him again to be sure he does not move.

@LindaOHio - I am not surprised, the MRI was useless also for my husband.

Dagnabbit. Are you seeing what I am seeing? All those beds are empty. The restraints didn't work! You need to get on the phone with someone at once. He's probably down the hall dropping quarters into a gedunk machine fishing out a bag of Fritos for Heaven's sake. lol

I’m thankful you’re getting to see him today. I hope that calms him down, lest he keeps thinking he’s been kidnapped or something.

@LindaOHio I guess you're sort of happy about that -- if he can't come home, that is. At least, he'll be closer.

He will be going to rehab. It should be somewhere fairly close...closer than the hospital.

Linda, I may have missed a post, but I was wondering if he still had fluid on his lungs? Also, I recall you mentioning a possible unknown heart issue?

@MarieCoyle They put him on Lasix drip and he got rid of the fluid.

I think the fluid is under control. The unknown heart issue was the fluid.
