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 has a big day today, with another echocardiogram scheduled to see if the new medicine is helping reduce the pressure in his heart. He will also have another ultrasound to check his kidney and liver.

The little munchkin now weighs 5 lbs. 11oz. It may be hard to believe from looking at the pictures, but Holden has a reputation in the NICU as being quite the little "fussy pants!" It does seem that the reflux is the primary cause and the medicine he is on for that appears to be helping provide him more comfort. However, we have to remember, he's a little fighter and that definitely comes through in his personality!

Grandpa came for a visit yesterday and got to see the many sides of Holden. Sleeping like an angel, screaming like a mad man and calm & alert like a watch dog. He is such a blessing!!
