Day 63: Quick update

Just a quick update for those of you who check twice a day and are a little worried. Loki has had a good night. He did well on his three hour sprint on the cannula during the night shift and his secretion has been completely normal for being on CPAP. On the CPAP he has mainly been on room air with a little bump here and there when he is getting his feeding. Our little guy weighs 1675 grams now and looks nice and pink.

Ik ben er één die soms twee keer kijkt. Ik ben blij te lezen dat het weer beter gaat met het ventje. Sterkte maar weer.

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.
