Day 217

Happy Friday Mommy and Daddy! I weigh 6720 grams (14 lb 13.0 oz) today, up 25 grams (0.9 oz) from yesterday's weight. I gained an average of 10.7 grams (0.4 oz) per day over the past 7 days. I'm starting to do better in terms of my weight, but I think I'll check with my nurses and doctors and see if they can help me gain some more.

I received feedings by pump yesterday at a rate of 47 ml/hr. In addition, I was fed 5 times and took 95 ml at each feeding. I received a total amount of 757 ml for the day. A fluid oz is about 30 ml so this is about 25.6 oz. I took all my milk by tube. Mommy, you should be proud of yourself for pumping breastmilk for me -- it's just great! Since yesterday morning, I pooped 4 times and the last time was around midnight.

As of 4 AM, I was on a nasal cannula with 100% oxygen.

Arrivederci Mommy and Daddy. Come visit me soon. I love when you hold my hand and talk to me.

With all my heart,
John Michael

PS: You know you can call anytime, don't you?
