Our little fighter continues to do well with small "baby steps" of improvements each day. Holden had an open PDA (Patent Ductus Arteriosus) which basically is a value that allows blood to flow through the lungs. This usually closes when a baby is born. Holden's had remained opened adding to his complications. Doctors said that it looks like Holden's PDA is beginning to close on its own. This is great news, as if it would have remained opened, it would have required surgery!
Holden seemed full of energy when Mommy first arrived at the NICU this morning. He opened his eyes for several minutes today. It felt like he was finally placing my face with the voice he's heard for the past 9 months! I told him again about the great family and friends who are praying for him and can't wait to meet him.
I was able sit in a rocking chair and hold him for several hours today. It reminded me that we need to celebrate the little things in life - for that is truly what matters. There was no where I would have rather been and I will remember those precious moments forever.
Grandma Rosanne and Mommy visited tonight. Holden was very content with his dinner (milk) and was settling in for a good night's sleep.
