I was fed 3 times yesterday and I took 2.0 ml at each feeding. I received a total amount of 6 ml for the day. A fluid oz is about 30 ml so this is about 0.2 oz. 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. Thanks for the breastmilk, Mommy. You're the only one who can help me in such a special way. I can feel myself growing!! Since yesterday morning, I pooped 3 times and the last time was around 4 AM.
As of 5 AM, I was on a mechanical ventilator with 34% oxygen. I had 1 apnea/bradycardia spell yesterday, and I've had none so far today. My nurses and doctors say that these spells are so common in premies that they'd be surprised if I wasn't having the spells. As of 9:30 am I was at 28% oxygen.
Yesterday my big cousin Meredith tried to donate blood for me. Thank you. She's one of those rare people like me and mommy who are type O+. If anyone else out there is, talk to mommy because they tell me I can use your blood.
Daddy I'm sorry for worrying you yesterday. Who would have thought that you'd be the one to worry more than mommy.
My daddy told me that today they prayed for me at church at MBS in Franklin Lakes. That makes three besides church in Verona and Morristown. I am becoming very well known. I love all of you.
My big sister is coming to visit me today. Yesterday was her birthday and she turned 10. I got her a comforter for her new room she is currently sleeping in my room. I wrote her a letter "dear big sis; Hurry up and finish your room because I need mine. You have 3 months so get moving! This is for your new bed. Hope you like it. Love John Michael AKA your baby brother".
I love to sleep on my belly just like my daddy. See my photo below.
Sayanara Mommy and Daddy. I love when you come. Your visits calm me down and help me sleep better.
With all my heart,
John Michael
