On presentation to ER he had CT abdomen/pelvis which was negative for any acute process.  He was found to be COVID-19 positive but this was felt to be residual from recent past positive test in October.  His chest x-ray on admission showed mild bibasilar atelectasis without any consolidation.  He did have hypoxia in the ER which was initially felt to be secondary to IV narcotics given.  He was admitted to Medicine.   After admission, he did increase in O2 needs and was placed on 3-4 liters nasal cannula.  He developed a fever meeting SIRS/sepsis criteria and was found to be RSV positive on film array.  Given that his COVID positive test was felt to be residual from prior positive test in October he was not treated with Remdesivir.  He was started on IV steroid for 5 day course for RSV pneumonia (finished with prednisone) and hypoxia resolved.  During his stay he developed acute encephalopathy, and he had to be placed in soft bilateral wrist restraints.  His ammonia level was found to be elevated at 146. Both Psychiatry and Neurology Service were consulted.  Psychiatry assisted with agitation while hospitalized. Ritalin was stopped. Neurology recommended decrease of home Depakote and addition of Vimpat given high ammonia level felt to be secondary to Depakote.  EEG showed background slowing without seizures. Ammonia level trended down. Patient was discharged back to his facility in stable condition.

Patient is unable to contribute to history r/t drowsiness likely 2/2 recent dose of morphine along with developmental delay. Per caregiver at bedside, she is aware that he had an episode of emesis last night. This morning he seemed in normal state of health and was able to go out to lunch and participated in opening Christmas gifts. This afternoon he reported abdominal pain and had an episode of emesis, prompting presentation. His caregiver reports him having a cough today but otherwise they have not noticed any abnormalities.    In the ED, patient was tachycardic with VS otherwise stable. He did have transient hypoxia with spO2 85% which was felt to be 2/2 IV narcotics. He was reportedly weaned from oxygen though on evaluation remains on 2L. Upon patient arriving to the floor, RN reports another episode of hypoxia with patient now requiring 4L. CXR showed bibasilar atelectasis though no evidence of consolidation.
