Day 84

Good morning Mommy and Daddy! I weigh 1805 grams (3 lb 15.7 oz) today, up 30 grams (1.1 oz) from yesterday's weight. I gained an average of 29.3 grams (1.0 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 12-12.5 ml/hr and I received a total amount of 284 ml (9.6 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! I haven't pooped since yesterday morning, and the last time I went was around 8 PM on 5/7. I'm planning on pooping later today or tomorrow, and my nurse says that's just fine.

As of 4 AM, I was on a high flow nasal cannula with 25% oxygen.

Miss you Mommy and Daddy. Bring a camera with you the next time you visit so that you can show me off to all our friends and family.

With all my love,
John Michael

PS: Your calls are always welcome (except during change of shift, when my nurses need time to tell each other all about me).
