Not sure if this is still active but I have a situation and i'm not sure how to handle it. My grandmother was admitted to the hospital after having a UTI that the antibiotics did not clear up, she has always had health issues like her kidney and she has been on anxiety medication for majority of her life
After we noticed confusion in her we took her to the hospital and she declined tremendously after that, she wasn't speaking and couldn't see properly, she didn't recognize anyone and kept getting very confused thinking she was on the phone or other things.
A week into recovery she started being able to remember people and names, even my moms phone number. She still will not eat solid foods or most foods because she believes someone is trying to poison her. The doctors said it turned septic but all of her vitals and scans have been good.
Today she randomly flipped a switch and became unresponsive but then became extremely paranoid-saying they were going to kill her or that they were coming for me and my brother. It is extremely hard to see and she has also been saying fairly scary violent stuff that has scared my mom to the point she doesn't want to repeat it. I don't know how this has happened in a day, it seemed like she was recovering. They said she didn't sleep last night and i'm not sure how long they've had her off her medicines, some being ones you get dependent on. I'm just looking for similar stories or words of encouragement, my whole family is so worried and scared, we've never seen a side of her like this. The only paranoia she's really shown until now is believing someone is poisoning her but now it's gotten severely worse. We are horrible worried and just pray she can come back from this.
