Daddy is back on the 10th floor in the ICU. Dr. Chen came in to check on him (I had called his office while we were waiting on the Rescue Squad). He said that Daddy did not have pneumonia but that he did have a kidney infection. We told him about the diarrhea and that Daddy's regular Doctor was retesting him for the c-diff again. Dr. Chen was going to check that also. He said that the c-diff could be causing the high fever along with the kidney infection. They have started him on two antibiotics and IV fluids. His blood pressure is starting to come back up and his fever is starting to come down. He is very confused about where he is and for some reason he thinks he's in Crew and that it's 1999. We thought he was kidding at first but a little while later when asked where he was we got the same answer. When we told him "no you're not in crew, you're in Roanoke Memorial Hospital" he wanted to know why he was here. That's all we know for now. They are trying to get all his vitals stabilized and we'll go from there.
Mom has asked for no visitors right now and if he tests positive for the c-diff again he'll be put back in quarantine.
I'll update again when we know more.
