Day 33

Good morning Mommy and Daddy! I weigh 710 grams (1 lb 9.0 oz) today, up 20 grams (0.7 oz) from yesterday's weight. I lost an average of 7.1 grams (0.3 oz) per day over the past 7 days. I'm sure I'll get this gaining-weight thing squared away soon.

I received feedings by pump yesterday at a rate of 1.5 ml/hr and I received a total amount of 30 ml (1.0 oz) for the day. 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 know it's a lot of work Mom, but keep on pumping! I'm worth every drop! Since yesterday morning, I pooped 4 times and the last time was around 4 AM.

As of 7 AM, I was on a mechanical ventilator with 30% oxygen.

Adios Mommy and Daddy. Make sure you save my letters to you so that when I am big and strong we will be able to remember my important milestones.

I'll love you always,
John Michael
