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

We are learning that life in the NICU has its ups and downs. After struggling to wean Holden off of the nasal cannula this past week, doctors determined that he has Brochopulmonary Dysplasia (BPD), which is a reaction of the premature lung and to the oxygen and mechanical ventilation that were needed to treat him at birth. They will treat the BPD with extra oxygen, medication and give Holden more time for his lungs to mature/heal.

The little munchkin has been doing great today. He seems more comfortable and alert. Holden was able to spend time with Mommy, Daddy, Mimi and Grandpa this weekend. He loves being held!!
