Day 65

Holden's status is largely unchanged today... We decided to keep most everything the same, since we've made so many changes in the past few days. The only big change we're making today is going up on his feeds through the tube, hopefully to full feeds by tomorrow morning. We got him to take a few bites of banana baby food earlier, and he seemed to really enjoy it. It doesn't seem like that big of a deal, but in the context of his situation, it's huge. :) We may never find out what happened to cause all of these issues the past week, and I may have to be satisfied just knowing he's improving. It's frustrating, but what can you do??

We also have a prayer request for another family here... Emma is three months old, and she is another "puzzle baby" like Holden. Her parents have been trying to get her listed for a transplant, but they're hitting some speedbumps along the way. Please keep Emma and her parents in your prayers as well.

I've included a ton of pictures below, as promised...

This is what Trent does for fun in here... Poor baby.

Another wagon ride, before he got sick again last week.

Playing with Uncle Cody

The bed he switched to on the 8th floor... It looks like a monkey cage.

Sleeping with his seahorse again, he loves that thing!

Kaitlyn's favorite gift this year, a Kindle from Uncle Cody.

Rylie was pretty excited about her gift from Uncle Cody too.

They are loving scarves this season.

Such a little ham!

She wanted to get these Granny reading glasses... I vetoed.

They got their faces painted at Grapevine Mills on NYE... They felt very cool.

Poor Cody.

Playing with Holden before we went to the hotel on NYE.

While we went to the hotel, Holden had his own little party in the ICU. Left to right- Lane, his doctor; Brian, one of our favorite nurses; Jeremy, one of our favorite RT's.

 I love Holden's face as he's looking at Lane in this one.

The girls waiting for the fireworks to start. We had a pretty decent view of downtown Dallas out of the window.

At the Rainforest Cafe. They didn't want to leave!

Kaitlyn's flamingo...

And Rylie's tree frog. (Sitting in a heart, not a tree, per request.)

At the ICE show. So cold, but so fun!

Silly Rylie.

I thought this was appropriate. :)

The face I woke up to this morning... Love it!!!
