Not what we expected this weekend

Mom's symptoms expanded to include a moderate fever and body aches. She is feeling better this morning. I still think it was food poisoning.

It has been a busy 24+ hours. I learned that I can juggle caring for Loki and taking care of other things - cooking for me, cleaning, etc. And it has been fun, in a way. But it is very tiring. And Mom was able to get her first decent night's sleep. Today she is doing some house tasks, but still staying away from Loki.

The promised video has some technical problems. I hope to have it up soon.

Over at the right I will momentarily add links to friends' baby blogs. So far it is just Flo of Richard and Maaike (in Dutch) and Magnolia of Luna and Matt. If you have one yourself, let me know.

Lieve mom en dad,
Fijn om je even gesproken te hebben. Je klonk goed, fijn. Goed te horen dat dad het zorgen voor Loki toch wel leuk vind, al een echte papa aan het worden dus. En wat goed dat je het los kan laten en aan dad kan overlaten.
Geniet van je mannen!
Kus Maaike
(Ik vind het zelf toch ook erg leuk, onze blog, zo handig dat je er ook foto en film bij kan doen. En zo simpel dat ik het zelfs ook snap!)

lieve groet van Greet

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.
