Thanks for your concern. Yes, it was a scary night. He is still in ICU as of last night when the ambulance took him to the hospital. They think he may have encephalophacy. I was mistaken . I thought the nurse said encephalitis but that is not what it was. I guess the encephlophy was caused by all the different meds he has ingested into his body. I believe they gave him too much for all the more he weighs. Today when I went to visit him, the nurse said the palliative doctor would be in tomorrow to talk to him about possibly changing his meds. Joe told the nurse that no on was going to mess with his pain meds. He is addicted to his oxycodone and has been for 16 years. He does not want them to take them off of him. When I left this morning, I told him I would come back in the afternoon and bring him his glasses and phone. He told me to bring him one of his oxycodones. Well, I did not bring him one. When I went back the second time he asked why I did not bring it. First of all, I told him that when I was there earlier he told me he did not have any pain. Second of all, I was not going to get in trouble by giving him a pill that the hospital did not have knowledge. Although, he is very sick, he still is a true blue addict. I don't think things are going to go well for him.
