Day 75

Good morning Mommy and Daddy! I weigh 1485 grams (3 lb 4.4 oz) today, up 20 grams (0.7 oz) from yesterday's weight. I gained an average of 11.4 grams (0.4 oz) per day over the past 7 days. I'm starting to do better in terms of my weight, but I think I'll check with my nurses and doctors and see if they can help me gain some more.

I received feedings by pump yesterday at a rate of 10 ml/hr and I received a total amount of 240 ml (8.1 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. Thanks for the breastmilk Mommy! I love it! Since yesterday morning, I pooped twice and the last time was around 4 AM.

As of 5 AM, I was on a mechanical ventilator with 35% oxygen.

Adieu Mommy and Daddy. Come visit me soon.

I'll love you always,
John Michael

PS: Call anytime you want -- my nurse and I love to hear from you.
