Your mom needs to make a choice, either take him to the doctor and put up with the hysterics, or run the risk of having to buy him a casket.  I am no doctor, and you should not trust any medical advice you get from a public forum like this, but from your description, it sounds very serious and you should get a second opinion.

I am sorry for your loss. It is horrible and I also know that nursing homes are notorious for not taking the best care of patients. NOT all nursing homes, but certainly a great many. The same thing happened this past fall with our grandmother, if they had taken care of her the way they were suppose to have she would not have gotten as sick as she did which caused her death. We didn't pursue the matter because they are much bigger than us and the burden of proof was on us. We were not there 24 hours a day so how are to come up with proof. This kind of thing that happened with your sister happens in hospitals too, please remember that. These places harbor many many diseases and infections run rampant through both. Let it go for peace of mind and let your grief run its natural course. Again I am sorry for your loss. Take care

Ask to have her antibody levels tested (IgG, IgA, IgM). It is a simple blood test and won't cause her any more pain that having blood drawn.The long running fever suggests that her body is working to fight an infection. It is possible that her body is having trouble finding and/or fighting the infection because of a depressed or suppressed immune system. Think about how many infections she has had over the past year? How many times has she had to be on antibiotics? How many times have you had to repeat a course of antibiotics? \n\nI hope your little one feels better soon.

You gave her some good information.  She needs to have some labs taken.  She shouldn't let the doc drop it like this.  She needs to see someone who will follow up with her care.  Best of luck!

See an M.D.  \nShe probably needs a catheter.  Her body may be shutting down at the age of 90.

The coldness sometimes means poor circulation, however with her weight being low and her age you should really take her to the doctor. It is very important that her physician knows your concerns even if you share them via the phone. It's always better to be safe than sorry.

They don't sound related to each other.  The blood in her urine is most likely a urinary tract infection.  The blood in her phlem is probably just an irritated vessel in her lung from coughing.  Why hasn't she seen a doctor? No health coverage?  Have her drink lots of water and cranberry juice to help with her UTI.  If she smokes she should quit to help the coughing.  Or if she has a cold just wait it out and it should get better by itself.  I'm not a doctor though, just a CNA, so don't take my advice!  See a doctor for sure, if she doesn't get the uti taken care of it could spread to the bladder and eventually the blood stream which would not be good.

I'm not a doctor but I've seen this on one of those shows like ER & Grey's Anatomy. You can bring her to the doctor and ask him to tell you. They can find out by using a machine.

Get a second opinion. She could have a thyroid function problem. So seek more medical advice. There has to be a reason.

Have more bloodwork done,NOW. There is a possibility she is not over it. She can go into septic shock. One of the symptoms is lack of appetite, so make absolutely sure she is through  with it. Also, find out if the medication she was on irritated her throat or possibly gave her ulcers. That happened to my mom. She ended up with 27 ulcers in her throat and stomach. Pleaase have her checked out NOW!

i am a nurse practitioner. something that could be going on is that this BP reading is TOO LOW for this person. they need to see a healthcare professional and be thoroughly evaluated. They will ask questions about normal BP readings for this person, risk for strokes, risk for clogged arteries, and even evaluate for something as simple as excess fluid in the ear. Only someone seeing this person in real life can help well.

Is she diabetic or have heart condition?  I'd check with physician to rule out serious medical problem.  Purchase an electric blanket for nite to help with circulation.  Try site below.  Some conditions are pernio, Raynaurd Syndrome, cryoglobulin formation, cold urticaria.

In the healthcare professions this is known as 'student syndrome'.  The student often thinks they may have the disease being studied because 'they have all those symptoms too!"\n\nTalk to your mom.  Tell her exactly what you are saying here.  She will help you sort through it, and if needed, get you to the doctor to 'be sure' you are OK.\n\nBest wishes and good luck!
