Day 64: Another not great day

Loki has another day that was not bad, but not good either. Again, he seemed a bit fussier and less feisty than usual. The nurse claims he lost 50 grams, but I am skeptical about that.

It is good to be back and see Mom and the little man. While I was gone, he made a distinct jump in his appearance. He now looks like a real baby, only smaller.

Really wonderfull pictures of grandson Loki! Let's hope - and I'm sure he will- he will catch up on his weightloss tomorrow. Then he'll be even a BIGGER BOT, then!
Love & Kisses & hugs for you all!

Dear sweet family,

What a lovely boy you have! Heleen was here today and showed me your site and some pictures of the little big man. I wish you all the best and will light a candle for Loki.

Big kiss, Inge van der Heijden.

Lieve Loki,
Lots of sleep and cuddling will probably give you the energy to feel completely well. From all over the world good vibrations are coming into your isolet:-)

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.
