Although today marks Loki's eleventh day outside the womb, his development (both inside and out) now totals 26 weeks.
I asked about the respirator at today's report. His current response to reduced ventilator strength indicates that he is ready to have it removed. But because it was removed with a bad reaction once before, they will likely wait until Monday to confirm this, and remove the respirator and the breathing tube.
He continues to respond well to feeding. Tomorrow the amount will increase.
His brady arrhythmias are down to four in the last 24 hours. These may increase in the future, though.
Mom is recovering, but is showing mild symptoms of a cold. She stayed away from Loki last night and this morning. She is very very sad about this.

Dear mom, dad and Loki,
mom, I wish your cold will be over soon. I am so happy to read that Loki is doing quite well. Your movies are so touching... I asked my buddhist friends what they would do in this situation. They told me to do the medicine buddha meditation in which you imagine someone to get very healthy and to say the mantra of that buddha and of the buddha of limitless life and furthermore make strong wishes. I will do the meditation now and I've been saying the mantras many many times. So many people want to get to know you little Loki, so we are happier every day that you are such a strong little boy.
Warm greetings and love from Holland,
Johan, Suzan and Phileine
