Kangaroo hold

Hey Janet, what are you doing there?

Drooling on my mommy's chest:

My mom is too focused on those numbers on the screen, I am just fine:

How wonderful to see him without any tubes and wires in the face.
The episode with brady/apnea all at the same time must have been very scary. Nothing is worse than seeing your baby go limp and grey. So good to read that he is slowly making progress moving toward the CPAP. I am sorry to hear about the BPD, although it is not uncommon. I sincerely hope he will not suffer too many consequences from this. Hopefully the reflux will subside soon as well.

It's much better to focus on the positive experience. Happy kangorooing to all of you.

Strong, feisty, beautiful, sweet little Loki. Much love to you and your parents.
Mascha

Hoi Mom and Dad,
WE zien dat Loki niet alleen een vechter is, maar ook een prachtig snoetje heeft!!! Wat mooi om die ontwikkeling te zien. WE weten dat jullie veel zorgen hebben, maar ook veel genieten van deze kleine aap! Kortom: we leven met jullie mee! Heel veel liefs, Willem en Edith.

Superleuk om elke keer de foto's te zien. Hij is zo schattig. Je kan zien dat hij er minder kwetsbaar uitziet. Mama, wat fijn voor je dat je hem nu vaker vast kan houden!
Liefs Maaike

Hey Loki,
Did you remember me? Its been awhile since I have been able to spoil you. Glad your mom got to hold you today even though it seemed so busy, hectic, crazy all around. What was with all the drooling and dribbling, kleine vriend?
Grote knuffels,
Nurse Janet

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.
