Hi All,
I really need avice on this one, My husband is in the hospital and has been for 5 days now. No one can find out whats wrong and I am wondering if any of you guys have had something similar or experianced the same thing.

About a week ago hubby started to have a bit of confusion, wrong days etc, forgetful, I had a word with the doc and he said it was probably side effect of his pain medication which at that time was Fentynal? (sp) 100mg it had been upped to that dose due to alot of breakthrough pain, b4 he was on 50mg.
Fast forward 2 days...... Hubby was seen in the parking lot arriving home @ 5.30 am, when asked where he had been he didnt know, I had gone to sleep @ 4.30 am due to him being restless and he was alseep beside me. When I asked him later on where he had been, he said he thinks he went to rescue someone at the local boat ramp! More confusion sets in that day, that evening I came home from the store (slipped out to get his meds) and found him sweating and disorientated, I took his temp and it had rocketed to 103.3. I immediatly paged his radiation doc, who called me within minutes and told me take him to ER he will call in orders.
HE was seen within 2 mins of arriving, and after a battery of tests was given IV fluid, blood transfusion (2 units) urine tests,x-rays and antibiotics.... 6 hours later he was in a room, still wearing his pain patch, next day patch was removed at my request (doc agreed) as he was even more confused. not replaced with ANY pain meds but has some ordered if he needs it. More tests, head CT in case of bleeding in the brain, another unit of blood.
Fast forward again to today, his confusion is worse than ever, he tried to escape from the hospital many times dragging his IV behind him using the stairs,(8TH FLOOR) talks conspiracy against him, tried to get to the hospital kitchen to make soup,pulled IV out at least 6 times, tried getting his peg tube out, I could go on and on.
They thought it could be the meds still in his system, but he has been without for 3 full days now and confusion if anything is getting worse. Doc has ordered a whole load of new tests to be done today, in fact the nurse said she does not think there are many he left out!
He is 2 treatments away from completeing radiation, chemo is finshed (2weeks ago) and he is without all meds apart from magic mouthwash. Todays blood work shows another drop,(it had risen slightly yesterday) which would normally indicate another transfusion, doc is holding off till tests are complete. Could the confusion be from low blood count? Has anyone had this? Please advise and pretty worried now.
