Good morning Mommy and Daddy! I weigh 1040 grams (2 lb 4.7 oz) today, up 50 grams (1.8 oz) from yesterday's weight. I gained an average of 15.7 grams (0.6 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 6-6.5 ml/hr and I received a total amount of 154 ml (5.2 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. Keep up the good work Mom -- I really appreciate that great breastmilk! Since yesterday morning, I pooped twice and the last time was around 4 PM.
As of 6 AM, I was on a mechanical ventilator with 31% oxygen. I had 1 apnea/bradycardia spell yesterday, and I've had none so far today. My nurses and doctors say that these spells are so common in premies that they'd be surprised if I wasn't having the spells.
Bye-bye Mommy and Daddy. Bring your favorite book to read to me. I will love hearing that story.
I'll love you always,
John Michael
