Strapped in; More photos

There is little to report here besides the new photos, below, from the second part of our trip and the Alta Bates NICU picnic. Loki continues to sleep more than usual. It seems he is recovering from vacation. He really seems happier at home.

Sleeping presented a dilemma: Loki should sleep on a slope, with his head above his stomach, so that his food and reflux stay down. But he rolls a lot. So Mom found this item--the Tucker Sling--on the Internet that seems to help. It is like a sling around his body and legs, but then straps to the bed. It prevents him from rolling, allowing us to have his bed sloped. His discomfort while feeding overnight seems to be less now.
