Good morning Mommy and Daddy! I weigh 570 grams (1 lb 4.1 oz) today, unchanged from yesterday's weight. I gained an average of 20.0 grams (0.7 oz) per day over the past 3 days. Not a bad weight gain, but maybe I can do a little better.
I was fed 5 times yesterday and I took 2.0 ml at each feeding. I received a total amount of 10 ml (0.3 oz) for the day. I took all my milk by tube. My last feeding was at 4 AM and I was given 2 ml by tube. My next feeding will be at 8AM. I really appreciate all the breastmilk you are giving me. As the saying goes "Breast is Best"!! Since yesterday morning, I pooped 3 times and the last time was around 8 PM.
As of 5 AM, I was on a mechanical ventilator with 45% oxygen. I had several apnea/bradycardia spells yesterday, and I've had none so far today. Lots of my buddies are having spells too, but talk to my nurse or doctor about this when you call or come in.
Goodbye Mommy and Daddy. Keep a picture of me with you so that we can be "together" until I get home. It will make us both feel better!
Hugs and kisses,
John Michael
