nelms, You asked how long my LO was confused. He was confused for about 2 hours. Fortunately, he came home right after surgery. What confused him the most was his catheter. Keep in mind, he had only been diagnosed 5 months earlier. But I had learned a lot about the interaction of meds and LBD, so I was able to discuss this with the anesthesiologist. Now, nearly 5 years later, I won’t put him through another surgery unless it was vital.
