Matthew wasn't too happy at first when they velcroed him into this blue nylon inhibitor. Unlike the CT scan where he had to be sedated to remain perfectly still, it wasn't so critical for the Lung Profusion.
One boy's long road to recovery. Matthew was born two months premature with a rare fourfold heart defect known as Tetralogy of Fallot with Pulmonary Atresia and MAPCA's, and Ventricular Septal Defect. He's had two open heart surgeries and will need additional heart surgeries in the future. To appreciate the absolute miracle of this "3 plus million dollar boy", you'd need to look into the "Archives" beginning after his first 9 hr open heart surgery at Stanford, August 2005.
