Day 55

Good morning Mommy and Daddy! I weigh 1130 grams (2 lb 7.9 oz) today, down 40 grams (1.4 oz) from yesterday's weight. I gained an average of 17.1 grams (0.6 oz) per day over the past 7 days. I'm moving in the right direction, weight-wise. I'm thinking that a hamburger would really hit the spot -- hold the onions.

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. Keep the breastmilk coming -- all those wonderful nutrients are so good for me. Since yesterday morning, I pooped once around 10 AM.

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

See you soon Mommy and Daddy. I know that you enjoy our visits as much as I do, so please come back soon.

A big smooch,
John Michael
