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 continues to grow daily and now weighs 6lbs. 11.1oz. He has been doing very well with his bottle feedings and still enjoys his daily massages with Miss Meg.

His little personality is really showing now. He is proving to be a "a lover and a fighter." He loves to cuddle and has learned if he fusses just enough one of the nurses, volunteers or Mommy will hold him. He likes to look in your eyes and reach for your lips when you give kisses! Then at other times, he is very fiesty and lets us know he's not happy with whatever we may be doing (giving medicine, changing diaper, bathing, etc.).

A team of doctors will meet this week to discuss the best course of treatmet for Holden. Unfortunately, one option may involve surgery. We pray to God that he will guide us down the best path for our little munchkin. We'll let you know once a decision is made. Thank you for your continued prayers!

Keep the faith. We love the pictures you post of Holden cuddling with his parents or just kicking back. He is adorable. Our prayers continue for this little guy and we'll include prayers for guidance for his doctors to know what's best for Holden. Love, Deborah & David
