Loki is now up to 696 grams. Once his growth kicks in, we hope to see his mass increase by 10% each day.
The oxygen concentration in his respirator is down to 21%, which is the normal concentration found in the atmosphere.
Unfortunately, the staff suspects that his heart murmur may have reopened. He will get another cardiac ultrasound next week.
We continue to hope that he will be removed from the respirator on Monday. After that, we may be able to hold Loki.
Mom is feeling a bit sick again, and stayed home today. She is very sad about this. I will try to get away from work and visit the tyke.

Seems like so far things have gone relatively smoothly...I know how much Mama wants to hold that baby, so I will send good thoughts about the respirator coming off...Happy first Halloween, little Loki Sky!

Lieve mom,
Wat moeilijk dat je er niet kan zijn. We hopen dat je je snel weer beter voelt. Wat zou het mooi zijn om dat wondertje straks vast te kunnen houden. We duimen ervoor!!
