Video: Loki sees stuff

In recent days, Loki has been developing in many positive ways. For example, he is getting good at holding his head up, and turning it. When he is awake and aware, he now likes to look at things. In the video below, a mostly-awake and aware Loki examines the toys in his rocking chair.

In the past few days, I have tried to recall and thank those who made Loki's homecoming possible. The last, and greatest, praise goes to Loki himself. He is a brave little trooper. While Mom and I are going through a lot of stress, he certainly goes through much more. For me, it is all worth it when I see his healthier face and brighter eyes each day. This post, this day, this blog, and so much more are dedicated to him.

He is realy reacting to his toy (not that there was any doubt about him being able to do so)and he looks so adorable...We are very much looking forward to see him doing it 'life'!
We were realy touched by Dad's saturday's post. Mom is indeed doing an incredebly good job on Loki - petje af Mom!!
But she can because of Dad's support - petje af Dad!!

Oma Heleen en Opa Frits

This is so wonderful, what a miracle, to be joined by such a cute little human being! And the music is so nice, I heard Raimond Lap's music for the first time when I visited Kyra. It's great, still. Phileine loves it, she likes his peuter (toddler) music very much, to dance with. Keep on writing these nice posts! This makes my day feel good!

Love,
Suzanna

Lieve Loki, mom and dad,
We were in Berlin for 4 days so, no comments from me that time.
The foto's, the video's it is so cutie! In two weeks we will see Loki in real, I can't wait. You can show off with him for hours:-) And all this beauty because of mom and dad, making Loki, give him the life and are so unbelievable strong in raising, cuddle and taking care for him.
Big hug, tante Marieke

Wow, this is wonderful.
Dit zijn toch momenten waar je het allemaal voor doet? (Naast alle drukte rondom de voedingen en slapeloze nachten.) Wat is het dan toch ook lekker om gewoon thuis te zijn. Loki doet het echt geweldig. Ik ben zo trots op hem en op jullie allebei!
Gaat het met zijn onlasting inmiddels goed?
Dikke kus, Maaike

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.
