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!

Little Monkey Under the Weather

The little Monkey was experiencing some respiratory problems yesterday morning, so we brought him to the Children's Healthcare of Atlanta (Scottish Rite) Emergency Room. Because he is still a fragile little guy, they admitted him to the hospital to run tests and for observation. Based on bloodwork results obtained thus far, they've been able to rule out RSV and several other common infections. Right now, it seems likely that Holden just picked up a cold and it had a big effect on him because he was still healing from his recent surgery. Hopefully we'll go home in the next day or two. However, we are glad they are being so thorough as in the back of our mind, we always worry it could be his pulmonary vein stenosis progressively betting worse. So we just continue to say our prayers!!

Despite being stuck in the hospital, Holden has been in a good mood and seems to be slowly feeling better.
