He was admitted in October with COVID and was thought to be community-acquired pneumonia.  At that time his blood cultures were positive for Enterococcus faecalis with an unclear etiology.  Per Infectious Disease recommendations he is transferred downtown for a TEE which was essentially negative for vegetations.  He had a PICC line placed and was continued on penicillin until November 22nd.  He was then transition oral Augmentin.  He underwent removal of hardware by Dr. from the left knee on October 31st.  This was complicated by persistent hematuria and acute renal failure.  He also was fluid overloaded at that point in time.

This morning, patient is hard of hearing, but able to answer question appropriately.  He is oriented x3.  Slight cough overnight.  No fevers or chills.  No chest pain or shortness of breath.  Told me that they were planning on left knee replacement, but ended up coming here due to unstable vitals.   Gross hematuria.  Hx of BPH.
