Good morning Mommy and Daddy! I weigh 4080 grams (8 lb 15.9 oz) today, down 950 grams (2 lb 1.5 oz) from yesterday's weight. I lost an average of 96.0 grams (3.4 oz) per day over the past 7 days. I'm going to gain some weight soon, and my doctors and nurses will let you know the plans to help me put on some meat.
I was fed 8 times yesterday and I took 90 ml at each feeding. I received a total amount of 720 ml for the day. A fluid oz is about 30 ml so this is about 24.3 oz. I nipple fed 50% of my intake. My last feeding was at 6 AM and I took 15 ml by nipple and I was given 75 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!! I haven't pooped since yesterday morning, and the last time I went was around 6 PM on 7/24. My nurse says it's no big deal if I don't poop every day.
As of 6 AM, I was on a high flow nasal cannula with 30% oxygen.
Arrivederci Mommy and Daddy. Get your rest so you can visit me soon.
Hugs, kisses, and more hugs and kisses,
John Michael
