Day 80

Good morning Mommy and Daddy! I weigh 1685 grams (3 lb 11.4 oz) today, up 35 grams (1.2 oz) from yesterday's weight. I gained an average of 35.7 grams (1.3 oz) per day over the past 7 days. How about this weight gain? Aren't you proud of me?

I received feedings by pump yesterday at a rate of 11 ml/hr and I received a total amount of 264 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 once around 8 PM.

As of 7 AM, I was on a high flow nasal cannula with 26% oxygen.

See you soon Mommy and Daddy. Make sure you save my letters to you so that when I am big and strong we will be able to remember my important milestones.

Lots of love,
John Michael
