Day 199

Good morning Mommy and Daddy! I weigh 6325 grams (13 lb 15.1 oz) today, down 30 grams (1.1 oz) from yesterday's weight. I lost an average of 21.4 grams (0.8 oz) per day over the past 7 days. Keep thinking positive thoughts I'll be gaining weight soon.

I was fed 8 times yesterday and I took 45-55 ml at each feeding. I received a total amount of 410 ml (13.9 oz) for the day. I nipple fed 16% of my intake. My last feeding was at 6 AM and I took 10 ml by nipple and I was given 45 ml by tube. My next feeding should be around 9 AM. I know it's a lot of work Mom, but keep on pumping! I'm worth every drop! Since yesterday morning, I pooped twice and the last time was around 9 PM.

As of 6 AM, I was on a nasal cannula with 100% oxygen.

See you later Mommy and Daddy. Please sing me a song the next time you visit.

Love you lots,
John Michael

PS: I slept through my MN feeding and got it all by tube. At 3AM, I took 35ml. At 6AM, I took 10ml.
