Dad is a bit more stable on his feet today, but it seems his mental functioning is quite worse. He's not making any sense and is having very random thoughts. He's been picking up the phone and dialing random numbers, but he doesn't know who he's calling or why and when he gets someone on the phone, he says stuff that doesn't make any sense.
So, if he calls you, which he might, be aware that he might not know who you are or why he called.
We did not take him to the ER yesterday since he started to walk and talk a lot better. We think he just may have been really tired from all the walking he was doing over the weekend and the extra meds he took the night before. If we can't figure out why he's confused, we'll take him in to be evaluated at Feather River.
UPDATE:
Doug got into town today and he and Craig and Becky sat down and tried to figure out why dad is getting so loopy. They are pretty sure it's the Ativan that he's been taking. It seems to scramble his brain. They are going to stop giving it to him and see if he comes back to reality. He was already getting a bit better this afternoon after it starting wearing off a bit.
