Just a quick note here. All is well with Loki. Now that he is off the ventilator and over the infection, the next goal is to make him fat. He no longer receives any nutrition from IV. Instead he is getting 15 mL of Mom milk - fortified with some bonus calories - every three hours. While that is 120 mL per day, Mom makes about 750 mL per day. You should see our freezer!

What great news! The whole world tries to avoid fat, and this little guy is - rightly so - going for it. Give hime our encouragement (in hugs, energy, kisses etc.) Oma Heleen en opa frits
Lieve Kathalijn,Jesse en Loki,
we volgen jullie dagelijks met aandacht en liefde. Een mens die zo moet vechten voor zijn aardse leven...wat moet daar een krachtige persoonlijkheid in aanwezig zijn!
Veel liefs, Wopke en Judith
Hooray!! Loki is doing so well, all that love... cheers little man, drink up!
Hey Loki,
Just checking up on you during my days off of work. Loved the video of you slurping away at your pacifier.
You are FIVE weeks old now and growing so quickly. I can't believe how pudgy your cheeks and hands look in the video....must be all the great breastmilk your mom is supplying. Please give your mom and dad a big hello from me, And a hello to Nana, too.
Big Hugs to grow on,
Love,
Nurse Janet
