Update

We have been through a very rough weekend. Friday morning I called 911 and the ambulance took DH to the hospital. He had a temperature of 104 and his kidneys were shutting down. He had a very bad infection and pneumonia. We almost lost him.

At 10 Friday morning they put him on a ventilator and started massive antibiotics and other medications to jump start his kidneys. He was still delirious and not communicating.

Friday evening they had to sedate him because he was trying to remove the tubes from the ventilator. He was communicating and indicating anxiety and confusion. He slept all day Saturday and Sunday as they decreased the amount of oxygen he was on and he started assisting the ventilator.

This morning they changed his sedation medication and started to ween him off. At 10:30 they took him off the ventilator and he was talking a little. We have him on the road to recovery.

He will have to go from the hospital to rehab for a period. I am not sure when he will be returning home.

Please continue to pray for all caregivers and dementia patients. Thank you.
