Patient was started on Keppra for seizures.  Was given course of remdesivir and Decadron for COVID.  Antibiotics were narrowed from initial vanco, doxy, and zosyn to cefazolin with the return of speciation and sensitivities. Cerebell and EEG showed potential diffuse encephalopathy but no definitive seizures. Patient became responsive and was transferred out of ICU. MRI unclear of hypoxic injury vs post ictal state to cingulate gyrus. Unintentional movements resolved with keppra. Covid improved with no oxygen demand on 9/4. Patient had negative blood cultures from after first dose of antibiotics. IJ permacath replaced as potential source of infection. Left brachial AV graft was advised for removal, but patient and family declined removal. While admitted, patient had intermittent dark colored stools.
