Sorry we can not offer medical advice. I encourage you to talk to the NICU doctors and nurses to help you better understand their treatment decisions. I will say though that it is not unheard of to use Morphine for pain relief in infants, but can not comment on if it was appropriate in this situation

Google is your friend or ask your pediatrician. Per site terms and general professional guidelines we cannot offer medical advice
From Wikipedia. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doctor_of_Osteopathic_Medicine
And their professional association :

There is no advice to give. Training & education is standardized in the US
