Day 61

Good morning Mommy and Daddy! I weigh 1210 grams (2 lb 10.7 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. Not a bad weight gain, but maybe I can do a little better.

I'm 2 months old today! For my birthday, please give me an extra hug.

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. I'm so glad you're giving me breastmilk -- it's the best food for me! Since yesterday morning, I pooped 3 times and the last time was around midnight.

As of 5 AM, I was on a mechanical ventilator with 45% oxygen.

Au revoir Mommy and Daddy. Come visit me soon.

A million hugs,
John Michael
