Just saw this. Yikes! I'm so sorry all this is going on! My thoughts are with you. As others have said, try to take good care of yourSELF as well through this. I know it's hard when caregiving, but do try to anyway, ok? Sending mega-good vibes.

Just having the main diagnosis means you’re well on the way to beating this.He’s so lucky to have you! I am not as knowledgeable a caregiver as you. Get some rest as soon as you can. We’re all with you.

Ok update ... saw Doctor today. He was barely able to walk and almost fell many many times. Our Dr called the Er Doctor to fill him in and sent us there immediately. He wanted a CT immediately to rule out a abscess, which thank god was okay

He still has a 102 temp.

He was very confused didn’t know the day and thought it was 2017, he’s starting to clear up now about 6 hours on IV’s so dehydration and electrolytes being off could have been causing the confusion.

His potassium is very low, sodium too, his white count and platelets are both low also.

He’s on a cardiac monitor since low potassium can cause arrhythmia.

They are doing lab work every 6 hours and are repeating blood cultures.

He’s on numerous IV’s potassium will be running almost all night and they started him on Doxicycline. the tick titer testing takes 48+ hours, Doxi is the first Med used for tick borne illness if that is what is going on.

I’m very stressed of course, but I’m handling it all.

I’m keeping his boys informed along with his Sister.

Right now I’m sitting here watching him try to sleep. I will head home late tonight and be back by 6 am. I have to take care of the dogs, they can only hold things for so long.

So yeah .... now I’m going to wander the forum and try to think about something else.

Thank all of you for your continued support

I am still thinking about you both. I am glad they admitted him to the hospital and is getting IV antibiotics. I hope they make him feel better and they narrow down a diagnosis quickly.

While I would never wish anyone had to go to the hospital, I am glad he is at least in a safe place where he can get the help and treatment he needs.

Hopefully you get answers soon and that he recovers quickly. You're a real trooper.

Christina, I do hope your hubby woke up feeling a little better this morning. I hope the doctors have gotten a hold of what is making him sick. I also understand the stress you're under because of worry and being at a hospital. I've been there with my husband.

So glad your H is safe and getting treatment! I’ve been there and know how scary it can be. Hopefully when you go home you can relax a bit in the knowledge that he’s being monitored and safe, and you can get some sleep!!

Hi Christina,

Thanks for keeping us all posted. I hope your husband's doctors can figure out what is causing his symptoms soon. My thoughts are with both of you.
