Loki's surgery is done, and everything appears to have gone well. We just spoke with Dr. Baskin, the urologist. The stent came our fine, and the large hernia has been repaired. Loki did not need to be fully intubated with a breathing tube, but only with a laryngeal mask. He should be in recovery now, and we'll soon join him. Loki will be sent to the regular children's recovery area, not the pediatric intensive care unit. This is a sign of the doctors' confidence in his overall health. He will have a urinary catheter overnight, just to be sure urine is being produced correctly. Loki won't be fed until tomorrow morning, and should be able to leave before noon.
Of course, we are very relieved that all is well.
It is strange to be back at a hospital. Being at home had become so normal. But we are glad that it is at UCSF, where we have total confidence.

goede morgen lieve ouders, fijn dat alles goed is gegaan, ik hoop dat Loki snel weer mag eten en dat het goed gaat en hij weer mee naar huis mag, lieve groet van Greet
Dear mom, dad and Loki,
Great Loki is doing so fine. He's a big boy now, not a NICU patient anymore! Hope the herniasurgery gives him a better feeling about eating. besides his big genitals are gone.
Martin says, mannetje, you did so well!
Hele dikke knuffel van ons, XX
Lieve mensen,
gefeliciteerd dat alles zo goed is gegaan! Het ziet er goed uit allemaal.
Nu snel weer verder met z'n drietjes!
Liefs,
Wopke en Judith
Hi guys,
My comment didn't show up but I wish you all the best, of course. Big hug for all of you, and what I meant to say about the feeding: isn't it due to the yeast infection? It doesn't always show inside baby's mouth.
Well, you have bigger things to worry about, let's hope Loki recovers as good as before, without the 'bump'. Love, Kyra
Hey all, I'm glad that everything went well for the little guy. I am keeping a good thought for all of you. You are in good hands at UCSF, they are the best. Love Dee
Thank goodness! I am glad to hear things went well!
Lieve mom en dad,
Wat fijn dat de operatie goed gegaan is. In het ziekenhuis vinden ze jullie mannetje dus ook al een hele kerel, goed hoor. Nu op voor een spoedig herstel!!
