Happy Friday Mommy and Daddy! I weigh 1460 grams (3 lb 3.5 oz) today, up 130 grams (4.6 oz) from yesterday's weight. My weight hasn't changed much over the past 7 days. I'm moving in the right direction weight-wise, and maybe I'll surpise you tomorrow.
I received feedings by pump yesterday at a rate of 9.5 ml/hr and I received a total amount of 228 ml for the day. A fluid oz is about 30 ml so this is about 7.7 oz. I took all my milk by tube. Keep up the good work Mom -- I really appreciate that great breastmilk! Since yesterday morning, I pooped twice and the last time was around 4 PM.
As of 5 AM, I was on a mechanical ventilator with 28% oxygen. I had 1 apnea/bradycardia spell yesterday, and I've had none so far today. As I grow, these spells will go away -- that's what my nurse told me and she seems to know a lot about these kind of things.
Ta-ta Mommy and Daddy. Your visits make my day!
A big hug and kiss,
John Michael
