After suffering from a flu for a week, my mother became strange today. She is seeing and doing strange things. She saw people in the room that were not there and kept asking who they were. It is late night now as I write this and she acts like she is sewing something invisible on her bed. While she was normal the flu had her very very tired. Now she seems to be more active doing her "things". She will not sleep. Dementia? Temporary delirium? The meds she took were Nyquil Nighttime (1 tablet a day), aspirin (1 a day), loratadine (10mg a day) and losartin (50mg a day for high blood pressure). The loratadine and Nyquil were not taken the same days. I will take care of her, but want to know if this is a permanent or temporary condition.
My mother is still in the hospital for the pneumonia. They did a drain of her lungs today. I am still worried if her mental state will be normal after this. She is unconscious most of the time. Doctors and friends are saying to let her expire in the hospital rather than at home, it is that bad.
The hospital is doing a lot of test on her blood. They are correcting her sodium and now potassium levels. They found she had rectal bleeding today and are checking that at this moment.
