Day 66

Good morning Mommy and Daddy! I weigh 1405 grams (3 lb 1.6 oz) today, up 25 grams (0.9 oz) from yesterday's weight. I gained an average of 30.7 grams (1.1 oz) per day over the past 7 days. You should be impressed by the way I'm gaining. This is just grand!

I received feedings by pump yesterday at a rate of 8 ml/hr and I received a total amount of 184 ml (6.2 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. I'm so glad you're giving me breastmilk -- it's the best food for me! Since yesterday morning, I pooped twice and the last time was around midnight.

As of 7 AM, I was on a mechanical ventilator with 68% oxygen.

Adieu Mommy and Daddy. I love when you come. Your visits calm me down and help me sleep better.

Hugs,
John Michael
