Day 37

Happy Friday Mommy and Daddy! I weigh 880 grams (1 lb 15.0 oz) today, up 60 grams (2.1 oz) from yesterday's weight. I gained an average of 18.6 grams (0.7 oz) per day over the past 7 days. This is an good weight gain, but I might be able to do even better in the days ahead.

I received feedings by pump yesterday at a rate of 2.5-3 ml/hr and I received a total amount of 71 ml (2.4 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 really appreciate all the breastmilk you are giving me. As the saying goes "Breast is Best"!! Since yesterday morning, I pooped once around 4 PM.

My last bilirubin was 0.5 on 3/23 at 4 AM and my nurse seemed very pleased with this result.

As of 5 AM, I was on a mechanical ventilator with 48% oxygen.

Adios Mommy and Daddy. I think I need some pictures around me, so please bring me some.

Love you so much,
John Michael
