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.

The Comeback Kid

If I were a betting woman, all my money would be on Holden as he continues to fight his way to good health. By Tuesday AM he had done a 180 and seemed to be feeling much better than he had on Monday. He no longer had a fever, his sats (oxygen, heart rate, respiratory rate, etc.) were good and best of all, he was comfortable and in a great mood. The little Monkey laughed at all of Daddy's funny faces and was giggling as Mommy kissed his belly. Doctors have been able to wean his oxygen down slowly and hope to restart his feeds tomorrow. We were happy to learn that Holden is being moved to a semi-private room in the CICU. This will reduce a lot of the excess stimulation that he is currently experiencing.

For me, Holden is a daily reminder of the power of "Faith"!!
