Day 76

Good morning Mommy and Daddy! I weigh 1570 grams (3 lb 7.4 oz) today, up 85 grams (3.0 oz) from yesterday's weight. I gained an average of 22.9 grams (0.8 oz) per day over the past 7 days. I'm getting bigger and bigger day by day. Pretty soon I'll need some new clothes. Be sure to get me some good looking stuff!

I received feedings by pump yesterday at a rate of 10-10.5 ml/hr and I received a total amount of 250 ml (8.5 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. Thank you so much for giving me breastmilk, Mommy. It really helps me! I haven't pooped since yesterday morning, and the last time I went was around 4 AM on 4/30. It's no big deal if I don't poop everyday, so don't worry about this.

As of 7 AM, I was on a mechanical ventilator with 34% 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!

Love you lots,
John Michael
