Hello and hope you are doing well.
Post infection and the seizure medications must be making him sleepy. But please don’t venture to discontinue his medications without consulting your doctor. The symptoms could be the side effects of the medications. Discuss his symptoms with your consulting doctor he may change the dose or the medications.
Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
thanks for the recommendations. His pressure is as high as the machine will go...but thanks for the other ideas
Take care
Keep in mind that I am not a doctor and this is only my opinion. You could check with his doctor about raising the air flow on his breathing machine to see if that will help him sleep better. I would then talk with his neurologist about trying differnet types of medications and also if he or she thinks that having a Vagus Nerve Stimulator (vns) would be helpful.
I hope everything works out and do not give up.
