Thanks for the input so far (would love more) on duramorph. I am glad to
hear how helpful it has been to many people, and we are feeling less
panicky here thanks to you.

Someone in our town said (from the "other" hospital) they were using a
rather high dose of it here, so maybe that explains the more zonked effect
we are seeing.

My co-Leader got yet another call yesterday from a mother who had been on
morphine for three days and the baby only woke up twice the previous day,
even though they tried changing its clothing etc.  It is hard to nurse a
baby who won't wake up.

Still concerned, but less so.
