...... and bigger

Loki weighed in at 2960 grams yesterday. He had a bath and his hair looked like ducky fur, very cute. He was too lazy to breastfeed and just not hungry enough to really care about the yummie milk right in front of him. We will keep on trying.......

Today we should get our confirmation about when the surgery will take place. Indeed on Monday the 9th or possibly this Wednesday. In addition, he will have his eye exam sometime this week again. Fingers crossed he does not need any laser surgery to repair his ROP!

Finally, we are still very, very grateful for all your support in the shape of food, visits, calls, comments, cards and gifts etc.

hi guys,

it is still very nerve-wracking for you, all this surgery business. Let's hope it will be a major step in the right direction! And: let's hope we can meet... Kyra

I was writing a post last night, and my draft had this exact same title. It is nice to know that we still think alike. Sometimes.

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.
