Special Guests (photos)

We were very happy by the end of the day. Despite the fact that Loki did not gain enough weight, only 1.5 oz (45 grams) in a week. Our source of happiness was a visit from primaries Janet and Annette! It was so wonderful to see them, and Loki could not keep is eyes off of them. He showed his smiling trick and performed his "I can keep my head up like a real big baby" act. I believe the lovely ladies were a at least somewhat impressed by His Handsomeness.

Annette, I missed you so much:


I feel much better already:


Oh Janet, I missed your squeezes and lovin'.

Hey folks, look at me and my lovely lady:


Oh dad, I missed you when I was sleeping, you are just as handsome as I am:


Hey mommy, are you lucky or what?

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.
