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

Holden had a good day. The doctors were pleased with his progress and plan to move him back to the high flow nasal cannula tomorrow. The HFNC is less invasive and should now be more comfortable for him.

Mommy and Daddy were able to visit several times today. Holden was awake and alert. It was the first time Reece and I (together) saw him open his eyes. Although we've been a family since before he was born, it was our first opportunity to really spend time together. It was an afternoon we'll remember forever.

Daddy changed Holden's diaper and did a great job! It can be tricky to avoid some of the wires!! Our little guy has quite a grip on him. He reached out and held my finger. I am not sure who was comforting whom at that moment! I could have sat there all day looking into his beautiful blue eyes!
