Day 10

Good morning Mommy and Daddy! I weigh 590 grams (1 lb 4.8 oz) today, up 60 grams (2.1 oz) from yesterday's weight. I gained an average of 6.7 grams (0.2 oz) per day over the past 3 days. At my age, weight changes are basically due to changes in the amount of water in my body, so don't pay too much attention to it.

I was fed 4 times yesterday and I took 2.0 ml at each feeding. I received a total amount of 8 ml (0.3 oz) for the day. I took all my milk by tube. My last feeding was at 6 AM and I was given 2 ml by tube. I can't figure out when my next feeding will be, so check with my nurse. Thank you so much for giving me breastmilk, Mommy. It really helps me! Since yesterday morning, I pooped 4 times and the last time was around 8 PM.

My last bilirubin was 3.0 on 2/25 at 4 AM and that's OK in my book.

As of 5 AM, I was on a mechanical ventilator with 30% oxygen.

Cheerio Mommy and Daddy. Your visits are the best!

They needed to tie my legs down because I was bouncing them too much. The nurse said I was shaking the whole room and disturbing the other babies.

Until I see you. Love,
John Michael

PS: See if my nurse can put me on the phone next time you call :)
