We're still on that roller coaster and it's doing loop de loops! Hoo boy.
Got a call from Sis and her husband to talk about the parents and such and evidently Mom is off the rails and making NO sense - I mean she wanted to HUG the BIL and while that was disturbing since she doesn't like him at all, it was kind of funny. They're also concerned about how skinny Dad is and think he's not eating but I assure them that he is, but that Emily's Dad had the same thing where his metabolism was revved up like crazy and he could eat three bowls of ice cream after dinner and still lose weight. They're taking Dad to dinner tonight to confirm (hey, no argument from me!)
Anyway, we couldn't get an answer for her last night and were wondering if they were giving her too much Trazodone but she was seeming drugged at the previous place so unless it's a universal thing, that didn't seem right. When Dad couldn't get her this morning he started to fret so he had me call the facility and they went to her room to have her call me. Maaaaaaan, she is scrambled. She didn't know where she was and then she said Dad was already there "downstairs" (there IS no "downstairs" nor was he there) and then went into some story about being brought to a party with blankets and left there. Uh...no, that didn't happen.
Sis was getting hold of Mom's doc to check on the scripts and dosages but then Emily said she should be checked for a UTI. Huh? I didn't know a UTI can cause delirium. Then I was letting Mom's bestie know on Facebook DM that if she talked to Mom that Mom is way off right now and SHE wondered about UTI.
So I called the facility with my concerns and talked to the head nurse. She said they had been discussing her since they were concerned but since she's new there, didn't know if that was her "normal." I assured them that no, something is very off since while she can be "old person cranky" at times (the nurse laughed at that) that this is way off base for her. So they're going to get her checked out right away.
If some antibiotics can start bringing her back to reality, I need to stock up on thank you cards and stuff.
