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.

Home Again

We were finally able to bring Holden home again on Tuesday evening. It just felt so right to have him back at home with Mommy, Daddy and Alex. Alex (our dog) was thrilled to see the little Monkey and even slept at the base of the crib that night. Holden seems to sense he is where he belongs and has slept comfortably through the night since we've been home.

Although our 6 weeks at Egelston had their ups and downs, we made many friends and feel that Holden received excellent care from most of the doctors and nurses. The plan for now is to just love the little guy, pray for him to be healed and enjoy every single day. We will get back into our own routine and get him healthy and growing again! If all goes well, we hope to return in the next month or two so Holden can have the surgery for his reflux and hernia.
We are continually amazed at the outpouring of love and prayer from all of you - for our sweet baby boy. Maybe the reason God sent us on this journey was to remind us to love one another and to cherish every single day we have here on earth. I think of this every time I look into Holden's beautiful blue eyes.

I've attached a couple of photos taken during our last couple of days at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta. We'll post again soon...
