Day 19

Good morning Mommy and Daddy! I weigh 620 grams (1 lb 5.9 oz) today, unchanged from yesterday's weight. I gained an average of 7.1 grams (0.3 oz) per day over the past 7 days. When I sleep, I dream of Oreo cookies...... :) See if you can convince my nurse to give me a few!

I received feedings by pump yesterday at a rate of 1.7-2.1 ml/hr and I received a total amount of 49 ml (1.7 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 3 times and the last time was around midnight.

As of 5 AM, I was on a mechanical ventilator with 45% oxygen. I had 1 apnea/bradycardia spell yesterday, and I've had none so far today. Don't worry about these. My nurses and doctors say that I will outgrow them in time.

Adios Mommy and Daddy. I love when you come. Your visits calm me down and help me sleep better.

Lots of hugs,
John Michael
