Good morning Mommy and Daddy! I weigh 1065 grams (2 lb 5.6 oz) today, up 15 grams (0.5 oz) from yesterday's weight. I gained an average of 3.6 grams (0.1 oz) per day over the past 7 days. I've decided to try to gain a little faster, so see if you can sneak me a milkshake and a slice of pepperoni pizza (ha! ha!).
I received feedings by pump yesterday at a rate of 7 ml/hr and I received a total amount of 168 ml for the day. A fluid oz is about 30 ml so this is about 5.7 oz. 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"!! I haven't pooped since yesterday morning, and the last time I went was around 8 PM on 4/5. Some days I'll poop, and some days I won't, and it's all just fine.
As of 7 AM, I was on a mechanical ventilator with 46% oxygen.
See you later Mommy and Daddy. I love the way you smell when you visit.
I'll love you always,
John Michael
PS: See if my nurse can put me on the phone next time you call :)
