Day 174

Good afternoon Mommy and Daddy! I weigh 5625 grams (12 lb 6.4 oz) today, unchanged from yesterday's weight. I gained an average of 43.6 grams (1.5 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 9 times yesterday and I took 70-120 ml at each feeding. I also nursed once. I received a total amount of 720 ml (24.3 oz) for the day. Aside from breastfeeding, I nipple fed 82% of my intake. My last feeding was at 6 AM and I was given 70 ml by tube. I can't figure out when my next feeding will be, so check with my nurse. Keep up the good work Mom -- I really appreciate that great breastmilk! Since yesterday morning, I pooped once around 9 PM.

As of 10 AM, I was on a nasal cannula with 50% oxygen.

See you later Mommy and Daddy. Please tell me things about our family the next time you visit.

With all my heart,
John Michael

PS: Call anytime you want -- my nurse and I love to hear from you.
