Alex has had a very rough 24 to 36 hours dealing withdrawal symptoms from the morphine. We were up pretty much all night or at least every 30 to 45 minutes. Miserable. It was bad enough that at about noon today he went back on morphine with the goal of trying a more drawn out weaning process this time to, ideally, avoid the side effects.
It seems to be working so far, he has improved a fair bit this afternoon, but things change so fast sometimes we're not claiming victory yet. We are getting to know the doctors all too well.
Thanks for the emails, that really does help.
