Day 27

Good morning Mommy and Daddy! I weigh 660 grams (1 lb 7.3 oz) today, down 100 grams (3.5 oz) from yesterday's weight. I gained an average of 20.0 grams (0.7 oz) per day over the past 7 days. I'm starting to do better in terms of my weight, but I think I'll check with my nurses and doctors and see if they can help me gain some more.

I received feedings by pump yesterday at a rate of 0.5 ml/hr and I received a total amount of 12 ml (0.4 oz) for the day. I took all my milk by tube. I know it's a lot of work Mom, but keep on pumping! I'm worth every drop! Since yesterday morning, I pooped once around 8 AM.

As of 6 AM, I was on a mechanical ventilator with 48% oxygen.

Miss you Mommy and Daddy. Your visits are the best!

Love, love,
John Michael
