Day 17

Good morning Mommy and Daddy! I weigh 630 grams (1 lb 6.2 oz) today, unchanged from yesterday's weight. I gained an average of 23.3 grams (0.8 oz) per day over the past 3 days. I'm getting bigger and bigger day by day. Pretty soon I'll need some new clothes. Be sure to get me some good looking stuff!

I received feedings by pump yesterday at a rate of 1.1-1.4 ml/hr and I received a total amount of 32 ml (1.1 oz) for the day. I took all my milk by tube. Keep up the good work Mom -- I really appreciate that great breastmilk! Since yesterday morning, I pooped twice and the last time was around 4 AM.

As of 6 AM, I was on a mechanical ventilator with 38% oxygen.

See you soon Mommy and Daddy. My nurses and doctors are taking great care of me, but it's your voice I know and love, so please come soon!

Hugs and kisses,
John Michael
