I received a very unusual call yesterday regarding a mother of a 5 day old
infant put on Percocet for pain with an infected Cesarean incision site.
 When she took the first dose, the infant became blue...not stopped breathing
but actually turned Smurf-like blue.  The physician involved stated its a
rare but noted side-effect and took infant off breast milk and has mom
pumping and dumping.  Has anyone heard this before?  I can find no references
that list the bluish color change related to use of Percocet.  TIA
