Loki's "Aunties" (photos):

Loki is chugging along. He is up to 2670 grams, which is almost six pounds. We were happy to have Libby as our evening nurse again : Not just because she is now a regular and known face, but because she also puts in that extra bit of extra effort, the personal touch.

And we were very happy to have Alta Bates, Nurses Amber and Rhea (sp?) visit from Alta Bates. They seemed quite happy to see Loki as well, and said that he is quite missed back at the old NICU. We look forward to the reunion in October, and until that times........ we hope we see Loki's wonderful "aunties" now a then.

Rhea, Libby, Amber, and Loki:

Didn't think it was possible to get cuter and more handsome, but Loki has done it once again! Glad to see him in the arms of so many caring people. -Jennifer M (who will register so as not to be anonymous - likely berkeleygal77 if they let me).

PS - you have inadvertently taught me some Dutch, namely "knuffels," "lieve," and "hopelijk." And i'll end up as adventuresinhousing instead of anonymous.

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.
