Day 78

Good morning Mommy and Daddy! I weigh 1600 grams (3 lb 8.4 oz) today, up 75 grams (2.6 oz) from yesterday's weight. I gained an average of 22.1 grams (0.8 oz) per day over the past 7 days. This is a fine weight gain. I'm on the right track.

I received feedings by pump yesterday at a rate of 11 ml/hr and I received a total amount of 242 ml (8.2 oz) for the day. I took all my milk by tube. Mommy, you should be proud of yourself for pumping breastmilk for me -- it's just great! Since yesterday morning, I pooped once around 4 PM.

As of 5 AM, I was on a mechanical ventilator with 43% oxygen.

See you soon Mommy and Daddy. Your visits make me so happy!

Hugs, kisses, and more hugs and kisses,
John Michael
