Laura’s been having debilitating, painful headaches that probably aren’t migraines. The most intense ones end in her vomiting. Last night during such a severe bout she became dizzy and fell. I took her to the ER and we’re in the hospital now. Not sure what will come of it. At first they were just going to discharge her again with some different pain medicine since there were no beds available. I pushed and she spent the night in the ER and has just been moved to a room — no normal rooms so she’s in post-partum (swanky digs)! She got an MRI an hour ago. Will be meeting with various people today: neurologist, nutritionist. Maybe a pain specialist. Maybe talk to someone about some complementary therapies. The conventional wisdom is that the headaches are probably a drug interaction, but not clear yet how that’s going to be figured out. She might be go home today. Not sure yet.
More later…
In the hospital

Sorry for the temporary setback, hope you get some relief from the headaches soon. Sometimes a drawn-out outpatient workup can be expedited by a hospital stay. Sounds like they’re looking at things from many angles. Always a good thing. We miss you all and think about you all the time. Let us know if wean be of help. Love, Tom and Mary
