I have been on 16Mg of Suboxone for 4+ years. The last year they put me of 20mg because my pain in worse during the colder seasons. From what I was told about Subitem, the withdrawal from the Naloxone could cause miscarriage, so I was advised to stay on Suboxone. Now from what I’m told, they are giving her the morphine when she is fussy. Really? Fussiness now constitutes as withdrawl? This is the 3rd doctor that has looked at her and it seems no matter what sign she shows its due to "withdrawal". Its sickening…not to mention reach nurse handles her differently as far as feeding and calming and if she doesn’t act according to that nurses liking, they give her a high Nas score which puts her that far away from coming home. I see her 16-18 hours or of the day…itseems the only time she doesn’t do well our gets a high scoring is when I’m not there. She is acting like a normal newborn. I’m not sure about the brain issue bite she lost weight, some if it was in her head but they are having problems feeding her. I side feed her and have not had an issue with her not reading or spitting up. The cardiologist and suboxone doctor told me they would do anything I need them to. I just don’t get it…she is acting like a normal thatnewborn and there is . no reason why she cannot come home. I am documenting EVERYTHING,.including the inconsistencies between the nurses. I feel like they are keeping her for no reason. All the different nurses tell me how excited they get when their shift starts and they are assigned to tale care of Gracie because she is so adorable, not to mention easy to take care of her because there is NOTHING wrong with her. Point being, I don’t care how excited you are, she has no business being there. I’m exhausted, I haven’t slept since I had her and the runnng back and forth to the hospital, plus day to day things that need to be taken care of…its just all so stressful and exhausting. I’m so angry and there is nothing I can do to get her released. I just hope this ends soon, from there I’m going to hit this hospital with something they’ve never seen before
