Withdrawal

in Adoption
J is withdrawing from subutex. We are stuck in the hospital w him until his symptoms subside, which means Friday at the absolute earliest for discharge. I just want my little man to be ok. This is so hard to watch and not be able to do anything for him except snuggle him. He's even developed latching issues because of the withdrawal, and breastfeeding has become nearly impossible.

I don't know what to tell people who keep asking why we are still in the hospital. I hate making up stories about jaundice and him losing too much weight, but that's what we are telling even family now, to keep his story private.

I wanna take my baby home. I hate seeing him shake and screech from the pain of his sore skin. It feels so helpless. If any of you ladies pray, can you please send up a quick prayer that his symptoms improve and he can go home?

    Sending you T&P's and hoping for a quick withdrawal recovery.  Stay strong for him.  Cuddles are perfect and hopefully soon you will be able to bring him home.  Like Jarala stated just tell folks he developed an infection that they need

    I am so sorry. I can't imagine how heartbreaking that is to watch. Thoughts and prayers going out to you and your little guy.

    I second the other poster's idea. Just say they want him to stay in NICU a few more days for observations. Most of my fr

    Lots of prayers and good thoughts coming your way.  I hope you are all home quickly.

    After 1 IUI, 3 IVF's with CGH/CCS testing, 10 early miscarriages, and lots of tears and frustration, we are moving on to Domestic Infant Adoption!  We are so excited to see what the future holds.

    We are going home in a few hours! His symptoms peaked Wednesday, and started subsiding, and they gave us permission to be discharged, as long as we get him in with his new pediatrician on Saturday. So, so happy! Thank you ladies so much for the prayers
