Mom and Dad's chronicle
of a tiny new guy
About Loki Sky
Loki Sky is a special little man. He was a very early micropreemie, weighing only 610 grams (1 lb, 5 oz) after 24 weeks, 3 days gestation, born to an American Father and a Dutch Mother in Berkeley, California on October 18, 2008.
On January 11, 2009, while still in the hospital NICU, his one kidney stopped working. It was repaired after three surgeries. After spending time in three hospitals in three cities, Loki came home on February 17. He struggled with eating, and then stopped in July, leading to 8 days in the hospital, a failure-to-thrive diagnosis, and a NG feeding tube. On October 10, a minor surgery installed a G feeding tube. Another procedure replaced it with a new one, and then again with a Mic-Key button in Jan. 2010.

In August 2010, he and his parents moved to the Netherlands.

Nice job Annette, now we can see his face at the other side of the world. Thanx, moms sister, Marieke
Hi guys,
We've been thinking about you all constantly since we ran into you last week. We've also been reading the blog and keeping both of you and Loki Sky in our thoughts.
Seeing as we're practically neighbors, please don't hesitate to call on us if there is ever anything we can do.
Lee and Laina
