We finally received the lower dose of the medicine patch on the 10th. We took the higher dose off a few hours before we put the new one on. I am so glad we had the dose lowered. He is already more alert and not as loopy. He is still sleeping more than usual though. After doing some research I found that hot baths, hot tubs, saunas, jacuzzis, and heating pads are all bad because they cause the patch to release high doses of medication all at once instead of slowly over a three day period. That may have been another part of the problem. I'm surprised that wasn't a warning on the label... It sure should be.
Brian slept most of the day. He missed the Quiencenera ceremony. He got out of bed around 3:30 and was ready to go to the reception dinner. We were there for about an hour and a half, he was very tired and threw up. I took him home and he slept in his recliner for awhile more. He was awake for a few hours tonight and had his usual pump house and PB&J dinner.
On the bright side, he still isn't having any pain.
