It’s so crazy. Two 1/2 months ago D H was driving. Followed by a month of geripsych and 1 month in MC. Doc said he was in about the end of stage 4.
Four days ago he became more confused and incontinent. Tested for UTI awaiting results but put on Antibiotics. Covid hit MC and DH may have it. He’s definitely not feeling well. This morning the caregivers told me had poop all over his room. And boy did he! It was everywhere.
I’m guessing g it’s a combination of being sick and UTI.
If not he jumped into stage 6 bypassing stage 5.

ElCy, a lot of antibiotics can cause diarrhea. I wonder if that's a factor. Maybe better to hold off until the urine results are back. Or: if he's had a few doses, that may be enough.0
