Day 77

Good morning Mommy and Daddy! I weigh 1525 grams (3 lb 5.8 oz) today, down 45 grams (1.6 oz) from yesterday's weight. I gained an average of 22.9 grams (0.8 oz) per day over the past 7 days. How about this weight gain? Did you ever know anyone who gained so well?

I received feedings by pump yesterday at a rate of 10.5-11 ml/hr and I received a total amount of 262 ml (8.9 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. You're the only one who can help me in such a special way. I can feel myself growing!! Since yesterday morning, I pooped 5 times and the last time was around 4 AM.

As of 5 AM, I was on a mechanical ventilator with 31% oxygen.

Ta-ta for now Mommy and Daddy. I really look forward to snuggling with you.

A big hug and kiss,
John Michael
