My poor litttle guy
I have a son who was born withdrawing from suboxone. Hes having a tough time with the hospitals scoring system. I think some of the stuff hes getting points for is reg baby stuff. Has anyone been thru this? They are going to put him on opiom. Im not a addict but I understand addiction. Its so sad and I cant do anything to help...
Oh what r ur other two children?? Boys..girls??... I have 3 boys 2 girls and 3 granddaughters and 1 grandson...they are so special....tell ur wife to not feel guilty...if she was on subs she apparently was trying to get clean..its a tough road...just hang in there hon ur doing great...
Oh my bless yhalls heart...what a load u guys are toting now....we can't change the past only the future...so dwell on what's before u and just take one moment at a time....family is the most important structure in the world..just hold ur family together...do u have help with ur other two kids?... Just keep ur strength up and eat best u can...and take care of urself...u have a tough job but u can handle this and it will work out..again so sorry the baby is having problems...please let us know what happens...best wishes my friend..
He was 8 lbs, she is so depressed and the guilt is getting to her. We have two other children and she has been away at the hospital since wednesday. Im so tired, after I work all day(12) hours I go spend 4 at the hospital waiting for him to wake up.
So sorry......but he's in good hands...just be patient...I know that's hard but u will soon be able to love him up with hugs and kisses...hope all goes well for ur wife and son...keep us updated on ur baby...congrats babies are so special...

Sorry i thought you were a female!
I am sure the hospital is doing everything they can for your little one. Was his weight good at birth? Have they said how long this will take? You will be able to love him up when he feels better. Are you holding up okay? How is your wife?

No my wife got preg with a dif guy but he is legaly mine. I cant go love on him cause it stimulates hime and his score gets too high. He is in the nicu in the dark and they don't like us to go in there

This happens more than folks realize. It's hard for everyone but there's learning,also. After this experience, you'll know that there is nothing, and I mean nothing, that you can't handle as a family!
Ask if you can go in and just talk to him for a minute. Babies know who their Moms and Dads are...they recognize voices. Stay strong and keep in touch here...it will work out.
As far as the scoring system goes: The people in the NICU are very experienced and it sounds like they've kept him for observation for several days. They wouldn't give him opiates if they had any question about withdrawal. Just think of it this way...they're making him feel better and it really won't take long.
