Day 24

Good morning Mommy and Daddy! I weigh 690 grams (1 lb 8.3 oz) today, down 10 grams (0.4 oz) from yesterday's weight. I gained an average of 10.0 grams (0.4 oz) per day over the past 7 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 0.5 ml/hr and I received a total amount of 11 ml for the day. A fluid oz is about 30 ml so this is about 0.4 oz. I took all my milk by tube. My last feeding was at 7 AM. I can't figure out when my next feeding will be, so check with my nurse. I haven't pooped since yesterday morning, and the last time I went was around noon on 3/8. It's no big deal if I don't poop everyday, so don't worry about this.

As of 4 AM, I was on a mechanical ventilator with 48% oxygen.

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

Lots of love,
John Michael
