He had a better night than the previous one, but he is pretty sick. Surely, he is the cat with nine lives, but this feels like no. 7 or 8. His kidney function is slowing. His calcium level is rising. He has a UTI. He’s recovering from COVID and still testing positive. He has been delusional, hallucinating, combative. The idea at the moment is to get enough fluids in him to help with the UTI and calcium levels. On Monday, they plan to start him on a new drug to help the calcium level. Between us, I am hoping we can start hospice care in the next few days — and Mom finally seems ready for that step.
