Day 43

Good morning Mommy and Daddy! I weigh 1000 grams (2 lb 3.3 oz) today, up 10 grams (0.4 oz) from yesterday's weight. I gained an average of 20.0 grams (0.7 oz) per day over the past 7 days. Not a bad weight gain, but maybe I can do a little better.

I received feedings by pump yesterday at a rate of 5-5.5 ml/hr and I received a total amount of 132 ml (4.4 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. Thank you so much for giving me breastmilk, Mommy. It really helps me! Since yesterday morning, I pooped 3 times and the last time was around 8 PM.

As of 5 AM, I was on a mechanical ventilator with 54% oxygen.

Au revoir Mommy and Daddy. I love when you come. Your visits calm me down and help me sleep better.

With all my love,
John Michael
