Day 155

Happy Friday Mommy and Daddy! I weigh 4740 grams (10 lb 7.2 oz) today, down 12 grams (0.4 oz) from yesterday's weight. I gained an average of 46.0 grams (1.6 oz) per day over the past 7 days. You should be impressed by the way I'm gaining. Everyone is complimenting me for the great job I'm doing.

I was fed 8 times yesterday and I took 85 ml at each feeding. I received a total amount of 680 ml for the day. A fluid oz is about 30 ml so this is about 23.0 oz. I nipple fed 38% of my intake. My last feeding was at 6 AM and I took 25 ml by nipple and I was given 60 ml by tube. My next feeding should be around 9 AM. 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 3 times and the last time was around 9 PM.

As of 6 AM, I was on a high flow nasal cannula with 32% oxygen.

See you soon Mommy and Daddy. I am looking forward to your loving touch.

Hugs,
John Michael

PS: My nurse told me to remind you to call anytime you want.
