Ha ha how cool: Kathalijn's 15 minutes of fame in People's Magazine! It's certainly the yummiest kind of cheese America has to offer, I remember devouring them back in the days on your doorstep!!

It must be hard to make the extra effort just to let Loki get a bit of sleep all the time. Hopefully you can enjoy everyone around you (therapists and such) taking care of him, so you can sit back sometimes! oh and thanks for the Loki-style card: spunky and rebellious, he certainly lives up to that!!
xox Fransje.

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.
