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.

Although Holden had a great day on Sunday, he woke up today with a fever and has had a difficult day. Doctors have taken blood to test for an infection. And while we won't have the results for 24 hours or so, they've gone ahead and started him on antibiotics. They also did an echocardiogram - that showed that his pulmonary pressures were high. The only thing I can say is "This Sucks!". It is not fair that Holden has to go all through this - especially more than once!

I know God is watching out for our little Monkey and I try not to get discouraged, but some days are definitely harder than others. Holden seemed to be feeling better this evening and his vitals had definitely improved. Mommy told him he needs to keep fighting and reminded him of all of the great things he's going to get to do when he's feeling better. I even promised him a trip to Disney World to meet Mickey Mouse (one of his favorite stuffed animals!!).

I know I sound like a broken record, but thank you for all of your thoughts and prayers. Holden will be okay. And he's going to be one tough kid after all he's been through. God Bless...

Love,
Christine
