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 busy day with doctors, an x-ray, an ultra sound, a bottle feeding and a visit from Mommy and Daddy. The little munchkin has been more irritable lately ( I don't blame him, with all he's having to deal with!!). Doctors are running some tests to make sure there are no other issues that could be affecting his recovery. They are also making some changes to his current treatment to see if it helps with the pulmonary hypertension and reflux. At this time, we don't know how much longer he will have to stay in the hospital. Certainly, until the pulmonary hypertension is under control or eliminated. This certainly has not been an easy road for Holden, but we pray that God will heal the little guy so we can bring him home when the time is right!

Holden looked so cute today in his "I may be little but I think BIG" onesie. Mommy and Daddy both enjoyed our time with the munchkin today. There were several times when he was wide awake and we were able to interact with him!
Mommy has been missing Reece and Alex and has decided to check out of the hotel and head home. I will commute to and from the hospital each day. Now I'll be able to see all of my guys - every day. I'll continue to update the blog as we have new information. So please don't worry if we go a day or two without an entry. I know we've said this before, but we are so touched by the outpouring of prayers and support. This is the first time in my life, I've asked for prayers and I know that it is your prayers that are giving us the strength to make it through this challenging time. I truly believe God will heal our little boy! And on his (not mine or Reece's) time frame - we'll be able to bring Holden home and introduce him to all of you.

For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for? But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.(Romans 8:24,25)

Oh, he is getting so big! He is getting cuter everyday...no doubt, he looks just like his beautiful mother. He really is growing so fast.
