Day 72: longer update later

Sorry, no long update today. I am very tired. We are working on our house after hospital hours. It's a lot of work because we need to clear out the office and move a lot of stuff around to get Loki's room ready. He'll be sleeping in our room in his little Graco crib initially, but the little guy already has so much stuff, that we need to get it all sorted, cleaned and put away. Our house looks like it exploded. Like we are moving without our belongings packed in boxes.

Loki was doing okay today, just desatting a little more and deeper than usual, when being held or handled. He may just be tired from working harder to breathe with less pressure in the cannula. He loved being held while I am standing up gently rocking back and forth though. A real baby thing to like.....

lieve Kathalijn, wat gaat het goed met Loki, en nu zijn jullie zijn bedje aan het klaar maken, druk natuurlijk, van huis naar ziekenhuis,
alle goeds wens ik jullie en veel gezondheid voor Loki.

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.
