Mom has been having repeated "episodes" as the SNF staff call them. She will suddenly get weak, spike a fever and oxygen levels drop. One occurred early January then again early February. Negative for COVID/Flu, xray shows lungs are clear, blood work is normal, urine specimens return a 2+ bacteria initially but the extended cultures come back "contaminated". Not a UTI, right? Initial ultrasound of bladder in January showed a small lesion on her bladder. A second ultrasound on bladder and kidneys showed nothing abnormal in February. Antibiotic shot was administered in January, she rebounded in 24 hours. Two antibiotic shots administered in February but it has taken almost 10 days for her to get back to where she was prior. She was scheduled to see a urologist in January but cancelled the day before her appointment. Mom will soon be 90 and doesn't want any invasive procedures which I can understand. I'm at a loss of what this could be and if it may be something corrected with non-invasive means? Anyone had anything similar happen to a loved one?
she was herself again.
