Today Loki clearly feels much, much better! He has responded well to the platelet transfusion and his count is up from 47,000 to 112,000. The platelets help him fight his infections. Although the blood draws still come back positive for infection, he looks so much more comfortable, and his oxygen saturation as well as his heart rate look much more normal again. All and all, we feel the space to breath again.
Feeling better also allows us to talk to him a little more, and we started reading nurse Janet's nighty night book (Thank You Janet!!). We will be reading that to him every night, as long as he can process the stimulation of our voices, so he will grow and grow and grow, until he comes home and then he'll grow some more!!!
Blessings to all!!

WOW 23 days! It seemed only last week Loki was born. Many hugs from Amsterdam, Fransje.
This is wonderful news! He is a strong little dude! Have a wonderful day. xoxo. courtney
Great to hear Loki recovers quite well. Maybe Mom and Dad can tell Margareth and Amber what a wonderful job they did in signaling Loki's feelings. That's not care, but CARE.
Love ya'll, opa Frits
How wonderful to hear! I am really really happy Loki is doing better! And how about the needles? Does he still needs those IV's? Much much love again and sweet wishes,
Suzanna
