Holden was born in March of 2015. He is a handsome little boy with multiple severe impairments; commonly abbreviated as SXI. He tends to fall outside of the box and is constantly leaving us on our toes. A lot of times he doesn’t make logical medical sense (to us and to his own physicians). His symptoms range from mild to severe and are pretty unpredictable. He is unable to sit or stand by himself, is wheelchair bound and requires one on one care for everything. He babbles but cannot speak words. He is able to express pleasure by smiling, babbling, laughing and moving excitedly. And he is able to express displeasure by screaming, crying and arching his back. He’s also very good at snuggling. Holden enjoys swinging in his swing or hammock, going for walks, riding in cars or on the bus and being tickled.
