Upcoming Meeting

Scoot and I are so excited about an upcoming discussion at UAMS. We will be discussing pain meds that are used for long term vented infants. This includes continuous drips and also methadone tapers to combat withdrawal from narcotics. Harrison was on a morphine drip and methadone and did great with both. He showed very little signs bc of the tapering and he won't suffer any long term effects from it.  Babies use to suffer without these durgs and thankfully, there's been so much research done that proves it's very beneficial. Dr.'s didn't know back then bc preemies couldn't communicate their pain. I'm also excited about the ANGELS UAMS Annual Report for 2010. Our story will be featured!
