Good morning Mommy and Daddy! I weigh 540 grams (1 lb 3.0 oz)
today, down 10 grams (0.4 oz) from yesterday's weight. Pretty soon I'll
start to put on a little weight, but I'm too busy right now growing on
the inside.
I wasn't fed milk yesterday.
My last bilirubin was 4.6 on 2/18 at 4 AM this is on the high-ish side, so my nurses and doctors will be checking this again in the days ahead. I'm still on phototherapy treatment - these are bright lights that the nurses use to treat my jaundice. It feels warm and cozy.
As of 5 AM, I was on a high frequency oscillator with 53% oxygen.
I am finding it hard to breath today. I am not doing as well as yesterday. They have slowly turned the oxygen levels up to 100 percent. Seems to help a little but I am just not the same. My daddy is told to leave my room and I feel a little nervous as my doctor starts working on me. After about 30 minutes I feel a little better and daddy is brought back in the room. I over hear the doctor telling daddy that I am now on nitrous oxide. The nitrogen is supposed to open my blood vessels to accept more oxygen.

Later that night I held daddy's finger for the first time. Daddy also put a cotton swab in my mouth with mommy's milk on it.
Tootle-oo Mommy and Daddy. I really look forward to snuggling with you.
Love you so much,
John Michael
PS: You know you can call anytime, don't you?
