Good morning Mommy and Daddy! I weigh 3585 grams (7 lb 14.5 oz) today, up 15 grams (0.5 oz) from yesterday's weight. I gained an average of 51.4 grams (1.8 oz) per day over the past 7 days. How about this weight gain? Aren't you proud of me?
I was fed 8 times yesterday and I took 65 ml at each feeding. I received a total amount of 520 ml (17.6 oz) for the day. I nipple fed 22% of my intake. My last feeding was at 6 AM and I was given 65 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 once around 6 AM.
As of 6 AM, I was on a nasal cannula with 100% oxygen.
Ta-ta Mommy and Daddy. My nurses and doctors are taking great care of me, but it's your voice I know and love, so please come soon!
Hugs and kisses,
John Michael
PS: At 3am I took 50ml by mouth and 15ml by tube! My nurse said the slow-flow nipple was maybe a little too slow for that particular feeding, and switched to a yellow nipple half way through. I also got nice new tapes on my face last night. The room cooled down nicely last night and my temperature was very stable at 36.5C. :)
