Good morning Mommy and Daddy! I weigh 1200 grams (2 lb 10.3 oz) today, up 10 grams (0.4 oz) from yesterday's weight. I gained an average of 11.4 grams (0.4 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 7.8 ml/hr and I received a total amount of 187 ml for the day. A fluid oz is about 30 ml so this is about 6.3 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. Thanks for the milk Mommy, it really helps me grow! Since yesterday morning, I pooped 3 times and the last time was around 4 AM.
As of 4 AM, I was on a mechanical ventilator with 54% oxygen.
So long Mommy and Daddy. Keep a picture of me with you so that we can be "together" until I get home. It will make us both feel better!
Loving you always,
John Michael
PS: My nurse told me to remind you to call anytime you want.
