Holiday Funds delivered!

Yesterday, the local ambassador of the Loki Sky and His NICU Friends Holiday Fund--and mother of post-preemie Anna--handed over a check for $2400 to the Alta Bates Summit NICU. Made possible by many of you, this money will help families who face economic challenges while having a new baby in the NICU. In its four years, our fund has now raised over $10,000! We all thank you very very much for making this possible! Happy new year!

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.
