Ok, I called this morning and then Judy called because there were a couple of things she asked me that I hadn't asked! LOL! Debbie said he was REALLY confused today, too. (Judy asked about him eating---I didn't ask, but she told Judy he had eaten 100% of his food and liquids!) I asked her about the potassium test (BUM) that Nikki said she'd see about getting. No orders could Debbie find for this. She was going to write some to check his potassium. It will probably be tomorrow before they do it. WAIT, WAIT, WAIT! I told her that this had to be because something was going on medically with Dad. She thinks it has to do with his urine. She said something about stopping the lasix(sorry, don't know how to spell this, but that's how it sounds!). I'm like why is he taking that---he doesn't have congestive heart failure or anything like that that would require getting excess fluids out of the body. He's been taking it since March of last year. She said it was for his kidney. If that's the case, then it could easily be potassium related because that is related to the fluid levels in your body! I asked her to PLEASE check that. Judy asked Debbie about the urine sample preliminary results and that Becky said his was fine. Debbie told her that you couldn't say that until you get the culture back. When will this be---Debbie said tomorrow hopefully. I don't know anything else for them to check other than those two things. Do any of you? Something is out of balance. One of the symptoms of his potassium problems last time was low or no urine output. Judy asked about this and Debbie said his urine output was fine. Love you all, Jeanie
