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.

Back Home...

Holden was discharged from the hospital today and we made it home in time for the LSU vs. Alabama Game. Although LSU lost in overtime, Holden still loves his Tigers (Of course he loves the Gators, too!)

Doctors think the Little Monkey may have caught a cold - possibly even while in the hospital recovering from his surgery. He seems to be feeling much better and was happy to be home again. We spent all afternoon playing and he fell asleep just as the Gator vs. Vandy game came on!


Holden was in much better spirits this hospital visit (no surgery, no IV, etc.). He loved playing with his mylar balloons.





Although Holden is not quite old enough to vote, he definitely had an opinion on who should be president!

Of course Mommy would vote for him!

wonderful news that you're back home. Holden looks really great in his pictures, except maybe he needs a GA Bulldog shirt. Once cold & flu season are over we look forward to seeing him again.

#1 - I agree with Deborah and David that he needs some UGA attire!!
#2 - I wish I would have known Holden was running in the election. He certainly would have gotten a write-in vote from me!

Looking forward to more encouraging news!

Holden looks so cute in his LSU gear!! He looks like a little man and getting so big. Glad you were able to get him home for the game, but wish LSU would have won. We want to keep Daddy happy, too. Of course Mommy is happy with her Gators taking care of business. errrr. Next year we can all watch the games together. We are so happy that Holden is home. He is just precious!

Love-
Mike, Rita, Isabella & Evan
