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.

Fighting to Go Home...

So it looks like Holden does NOT have an infection (YEAH)! Doctors are stopping his antibiotics and have determined that he is ready for a private room. Unfortunately the hospital is completely full and currently we are 6th on the list for a room.

The little Monkey continues to raise heck in the CICU and has been fussing on and off today. I am not sure if it is just a teething thing or if he's just feeling better and sick of being here. I would guess both! So Mommy has brought all sorts of toys and DVDs trying to keep him busy. Otherwise, when he gets too worked up, he is sedated - which sometimes is a good thing as he's been fighting going to sleep. Holden's Grandma Rosanne was able to spend time with him yesterday and Grandpa Dave came for a visit today.

We were hoping to take Holden to Stone Mountain Park's Pumpkin Festival before coming to the hospital, but it did not work out. So we are going to try to bring some pumpkins to Holden and the kids here on the cardiac floor. We'll be sure to take some pictures!!

Thanks again for all the prayers. They are definitely being answered!!

Love,
Mommy

Just checking in on Holden before I head to bed. Praise and Hooray for no infection!!!
Listen, Milk mommy....when babies are born...guilt gets constantly poured on mommies.. You're an outstanding mommy...and Reece an outstanding daddy. You'll have to learn to live with some guilt all through motherhood...(that means forever!). I'm sure all the mothers out there can tell you some stories about that! I know I can!
Rest well, tonight Holden! It'll help your body heal!
Love,
Cathy
