Sweet Aunties from Alta Bates

Loki got lucky today: two "aunty" nurses from Alta Bates stopped by. It was wonderful to see them, both for Loki and for Mom. Finally we have some of Loki's friends on photo!

Loki weighs 2510 grams today, and took in approximately 8 mL during breastfeeding. Slowly but surely!

Here is Nurse Janet:


And Nurse Annette:


Dr. Tennenbaum whom we know from CHO and Dr. Uzowic whom we met at AB:

Dr. Tennenbaum was at Loki's admission at Alta Bates. She remembers Loki from that day. She was is very impressed with how big he is, and how well he is doing despite having his kidney issue.

Lieve mama en papa,
Vandaag dan echt hetzelfde gewicht als Flo bij zijn geboorte: 2510 gram.
Flo doet zijn Hoera vor Loki: ik zeg "hieperdepiep... hoe" en Flo gooit zijn armen omhoog en zegt "aaa".
Veel succes vandaag!

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.
