Day 15

Good morning Mommy and Daddy! I weigh 650 grams (1 lb 6.9 oz) today, up 50 grams (1.8 oz) from yesterday's weight. I gained an average of 10.0 grams (0.4 oz) per day over the past 3 days. I've decided to try to gain a little faster, so see if you can sneak me a milkshake and a slice of pepperoni pizza (ha! ha!).

I received feedings by pump yesterday at a rate of 0.8 ml/hr. I received a total amount of 16 ml for the day. A fluid oz is about 30 ml so this is about 0.6 oz. I took all my milk by tube. Keep the breastmilk coming -- all those wonderful nutrients are so good for me. Since yesterday morning, I pooped once around midnight.

As of 5 AM, I was on a mechanical ventilator with 60% oxygen. I had no apnea/bradycardia spells yesterday, and I've had none so far today.

Cheerio Mommy and Daddy. Bring your favorite book to read to me. I will love hearing that story.

XOXO,
John Michael
