What's next???
My husband had all the symptoms of meningitis, but I didn't know then that he had it. At first I thought it's just gastroenteritis, but he was ok for 3 days then he had fever again with cold hands and feet, chills and body aches and was moaning and kept turning on the bed. I brought him to ER early morning, sent him home 6pm already. He didn't eat all day while he was there, and he stopped texting me at 1:30, he only that he was sleeping while on the wheelchair. He came out and he looked different, was walking slowly. Lab shows he has infection, prescribed azithromycin, and anti- emetic, sucralfate and antacid. So I thought, ok, so he still has stomach flu. Got home, he threw up. I forced him to eat, has 3 spoons of food, took his meds. He just want to lay down but kept moaning and turning, still has fever, won't tell me what's hurting him, refused to do anything. He will fall asleep then moan and turn again. 5 am, he was on the floor, I can't get him up ( he is 240 lbs) I am only 120 lbs. He can't get up either. I asked if he fell, he said yes. But he really can't stay awake. So I called the ambulance. He started throwing up. His Vital sign were still ok, he was still responding to me with a nod. By 7:30, he was on IV, by 8:30 was on oxygen already and won't respond at all. They won't let me stay with him anymore because of covid. I learned that they did lumbar puncture and CT scan on him and already on catheter, he didn't pee for over 24 hrs, they got 500 ml of urine on him initially. He was unresponsive but restless, nasogastric on his nose, and endotracheal tube in his mouth. By afternoon, he was in ICU. They started him on 3 kinds of antibiotics, did EEG on him and another CT scan the next day. No hemorrhage nor ischemia in the brain, stroke was ruled out. They put him on medically induced coma after he stopped vomiting, and now with ventilator. On the 5th day, he didn't improve. Changed his antibiotics based on the result of Culture and Sensitivity. Did another lumbar puncture and MRI. Lumbar puncture showed no infection already, but seizure on the brain showed on EEG, vital signs were stable. They will wane him off from anesthesia and see what's gonna happen, because CSF showed a neurological disorder. Waiting for MRI result. I'm hoping that he will have minor side effects from this or better yet, none at all.

Can this have created the meningitis?
Viral meningitis played a part in giving me a blood clot in the Brain.
