Drugged up baby boy

Jayce's day today was very uneventful as he was massively drugged up from the doses of Morphine that they were giving him every 3 hours. The kid never even woke up for his feedings. (thankfully tube feeding doesn't require an awake kid!) There was a lot of "stuff" going on in the NICU this morning and the doctors were very busy tending to urgent matters but when we got around to talking with them in the late afternoon we pressed them on the dose he was getting. They said that they'd evaluate reducing his dose in the morning, but all the nurses chimed in and said how sleepy and drugged up he was all day and that they agreed with us on reducing his dose this evening. So at the 6:00 feeding he got a smaller dose of morphine. "Tiger team" Laura came on at 7:00 and when I called in a few minutes ago to see how the reduced dose was doing she had some wonderful news to share.....JAYCE HAD HIS FIRST BOTTLE!! Yeh one step away from the tube feeding. He seems to be tolerating the reduce dosage much better and was actually awake for a brief period of time and comfortably went to sleep about 1/2 hour after he ate. So hopefully overnight he will continue to tolerate this smaller dose and we can continue to make strides with feeding tomorrow. I really hope we made the right decision to reduce his morphine level so soon....I don't want a setback...but I also don't want a drugged baby...where is that fine line?
