It has been over four years now since Holden joined our family. His journey started off bumpy and he's had to overcome some health challenges. But the Little Monkey continues to fight his way to becoming strong and healthy. We are so blessed to have him as our son. He inspires us and melts our hearts every day. Thank you for joining us on this journey. We've appreciated everyone's thoughts and prayers.

Baby Holden Update

Today Holden is doing well, however, we did have a setback yesterday as doctors determined Holden needed to be put on a CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) machine to help expand his lungs when he breathes. Although the machine is more intrusive than the nasal canula that he was on, Holden seems comfortable. Also yesterday, Holden was fussy and spit up some of his milk.

This morning's x-rays showed improvement in his lung expansion due to the CPAP. Holden seems much more comfortable today and is holding down his food.

Grandma Rosanne and Grandpa Dave were able to visit Holden yesterday. Mommy and Daddy are here with our little guy each day! We pray that Holden continues to get better and we appreciate all the support and encouragement from our friends and family.
