Hope it all goes well, and you get the answers you are wanting.
K was only in for 48 hours, and that was the second longest time that dragged on and on. (Being in Labor for 69 hours with K was the longest most annoying thing!!)

Home again, home again, jiggity-jig.........
He(my epi) never reduced the meds so I never seized (whew!) however I did have some short spikes. The real news is we discovered my blood pressure had risen too high for comfort. The highest in the hospital stay was 160/110....not STROKE high but high enough to start taking action.
EKG and blood work showed my heart, liver, and kidneys are in great shape (whew again!)....so the question of why I get the headaches and spells of confusion are still unsolved---but deemed probably related to high blood pressure and stress.
I'm now taking a new drug to keep my bp lower to see if that solves the latest riddle.
Reduce stress....reduce stress.......reduce stress.
Where'd I put my records?

have Stress Reduction .... That goes
for you too Birdy! We've gotta reduce

Sounds like you found a major key to the puzzle. I hope the blood pressure meds work for you. My father has problems with high blood pressure too but you'd never guess it from seeing him - he's thin and eats right. It can affect anyone.
