Loki at home!

After 121 days, three hospitals, two surgeries, plenty of ups and downs, and innumerable tears, Loki is now home. Mom is giving him a bottle now, in the rocking chair. There is little that can said that has not already been said.

A word on visitors: Of course, we'd love to see you. But we need to pace ourselves. And we must be extremely cautious about germs. So please do not take offense if we say, "Not now," to a potential visit, or if we grill you about potential exposure to anything contagious. Please be honest about if you have had symptoms of illness, or been around sick people.

You can call us at home or cell. We have video chat capabilities on Google chat (name = XXXX) and Skype (name = XXXX). However, we do not keep Skype running, so we'll need to arrange a time a head, or switch once we are on the phone.

We'll continue updates. For now, some photos....
