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.

One Step Closer to Home...

We were thrilled that Holden was moved to a private room this evening. It feels great to have everything moving along in the right direction. I bumped into Holden's cardiologist when I was walking in with our bags and he kind of chuckled as he looked at my rather large suitcase and told me that if things continue to go well, there is a chance we'll be discharged this weekend or probably early next week. YEAH! We are so proud of our little Monkey.

We think Holden got a second tooth today. He doesn't want anyone to touch them, but when I tried rubbing Orajel on his gums, I was pretty certain I felt both of his bottom center teeth! Between the teeth and his reflux surgery he should be ready for some yummy solids any time now:)

Looks like we'll be home for Halloween after all. Holden is going to be a Monkey and his costume comes with it's very own "little monkey," which we call Junior. We'll be sure to post pictures.

Love,
Mommy
