Very Relaxed

This is a very relaxed baby! This is around 8:30 PM, shortly after he had received a dose of morphine. They've adjusted his dosage tonight (around 2 am) because he was having periods of breakthrough pain, which means peaks of pain that occur as the morphine wears off. But at this moment (2:15 am) he is resting comfortably once again. A few hours ago we removed the wraps around his arms (the thing that looks like a cast). They are supposed to prevent him from grabbing and pulling at his tubes, but they mainly succeeded in making him very uncomfortable and squirmy.

The good thing about this, James will not remember this and for the parents, somewhere down the road, it will not be as painful for you either!

He looks very contented in this picture.

Blessings to all of you!
