Yes, that was my post. The system did some strange things with it...

Lieve Loki, mom, dad and Rebecca,
We wish you a very happy, beautifull and healthu 2010!
Remember Santa left you a present under our tree? A staatslot. Well....you did'nt win anything. Heel jammer. Santa also left one for Opa Ruud en Oma Anna. They did win...10 eu! I don't no yet abot Oma Heleen and opa Frits. Bet they did'nt win the 27,5 milion.....
Thanks to Santa he was so smart to skip a Staatslot for us. It probbably turned out to be a waste of money:-)
Dikke kus van ons, XXX Marieke en Martin

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.
