Day 79

Happy Friday Mommy and Daddy! I weigh 1650 grams (3 lb 10.2 oz) today, up 50 grams (1.8 oz) from yesterday's weight. I gained an average of 38.6 grams (1.4 oz) per day over the past 7 days. You should be impressed by the way I'm gaining. This is just grand!

I received feedings by pump yesterday at a rate of 11 ml/hr and I received a total amount of 253 ml (8.6 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. I really appreciate all the breastmilk you are giving me. As the saying goes "Breast is Best"!! Since yesterday morning, I pooped once around noon.

As of 6 AM, I was on a mechanical ventilator with 40% oxygen.

Farewell Mommy and Daddy. Please tell me a story the next time you visit.

Love,
John Michael
