Day 34

Good morning Mommy and Daddy! I weigh 740 grams (1 lb 10.1 oz) today, up 30 grams (1.1 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 going to gain some weight soon, and my doctors and nurses will let you know the plans to help me put on some meat.

I received feedings by pump yesterday at a rate of 1.5-2 ml/hr and I received a total amount of 47 ml (1.6 oz) for the day. I took all my milk by tube. Thanks for the breastmilk, Mommy. You're the only one who can help me in such a special way. I can feel myself growing!! Since yesterday morning, I pooped 4 times and the last time was around 4 AM.

I slept so great last night knowing that I got to spend time in your arms Mommy! Thank you for holding me close and tight!

As of 5 AM, I was on a mechanical ventilator with 37% oxygen.

Adios Mommy and Daddy. Your visits are the best!

Love,
John Michael
