Hoping only a few more days.

Jayce got another level of wean from the Morphine today. Only one more wean to go and then a 24-48 hour monitoring before he can come home! Keep your fingers crossed that he tolerates this latest wean. I'm planning on staying here in the hospital tonight as the night time shift appears to be his witching hour. He gets graded every 3 hours on everything from how well he sleeps to how many times he sneezes. It is really crazy. But every time he gets a "bad" score (a score above 8) they keep him at his same level of Morphine for another day...which mean another day here and not at home. So I want to see how "terrible" he is at night. The poor little guy probably just has his day and night times switched....you can't tell at all what time of day it is in here. Plus do they expect him to be wonderful 24 hours of the day? He is a baby you know! And he does great during the day when we are here. He rarely fusses and pretty much sleeps all day. If he was showing signs of withdrawal he wouldn't just have a bad 8 hours...he'd have a bad 24 hours. The Drs play it very conservative, which I understand, but after hanging out with Jayce day after day I really don't feel that he is showing withdrawal symptoms and I'm hoping that me being here tonight will help him get over this last hurdle and hopefully come home sooner. Here he is only 2 weeks old and I'm already worried about his report card!
