It 's not our favorite thing to give , being that the Codeine is a bit of a respiratory depressant , and it 's drying -- hense the slow peeing and no pooping , but it really helped to keep him comfortable . He only wanted to sleep on his back , in one position , but we figure for one night it would be okay , and we 'd get him moving on day 2 . Colin slept and slept . At one point he woke and I flipped him and told him it was still early and that he could sleep some more , so he did !

Question: Why were we giving him Codeine ?
Answer: We wanted to keep him moving .We wanted to depress his respiration .None of the above choices .He was uncomfortable .
