Papa's sick

My papa's sick. He's been acting strange since Wednesday. He was sitting in his chair telling my Grandma not to worry because the cops will be there soon. He thinks that he's being taperecorded and people are out to get him. Thurday they took him to the hospital and thought he had an infection and sent him home. Friday he was back to normal, and watched a movie with my Grandma that night. Later on that night he started acting paranoid and saying the cops were coming for him again. Saturday they took him back to a hospital and ran more tests. Now they are saying that he has low sodium and high blood pressure. They did a cat scan and found he had a mini stroke a long time ago. He's been diabetic for 60 years and he also still could have an infection. They have no idea at this point what is causing the paranoia. Hopefully they will come back with something this afternoon.

Trust me, the internet is not a good tool for diagnosing your Papa.

Yes. I feel so bad that he is going through all of that. We can't really do anything.
