Day 117

Good morning Mommy and Daddy! I weigh 3080 grams (6 lb 12.6 oz) today, up 100 grams (3.5 oz) from yesterday's weight. I gained an average of 41.4 grams (1.5 oz) per day over the past 7 days. My nurse gave me a gold star for my weight gain.

I was fed 8 times yesterday and I took 60 ml at each feeding. I received a total amount of 480 ml (16.2 oz) for the day. I nipple fed 11% of my intake. My last feeding was at 6 AM and I was given 60 ml by tube. My next feeding should be around 9 AM. Keep the breastmilk coming -- all those wonderful nutrients are so good for me. Since yesterday morning, I pooped twice and the last time was around 3 PM.

As of 6 AM, I was on a nasal cannula with 100% oxygen and 0.3 liters!!

Ta-ta Mommy and Daddy. Keep a picture of me with you so that we can be "together" until I get home. It will make us both feel better!

With all my heart,
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).
