Matthew still sleeps through the night in our bedroom so we can monitor his feeding machine. At nap time, however, we have begun putting him in his own room. We never imagined it would be fourteen months before he slept in his actual crib. Last night while talking to Grandma Sue, Terri and I placed him in his crib for the first time. He immediately stood up like a big boy. He was quite proud of himself.

It didn't take long to realize the extent of lung damage that Matthew had suffered. His premature birth, heart defect which flooded his lungs with blood, open heart surgery, and time spent on a ventilator all combined to severely compromise his little lungs. At one point we were told to prepare ourselves for the thought of a tracheotomy (like Christopher Reeve had).

Matthew's reaction to the Chickenpox vaccine has mostly subsided. At its' climax there were approximately 20-30 bright red pimples on his body. They didn't seem to bother him as full-on Chickenpox most certainly would have. The bumps have scabbed over and faded in color now. I think he derives new found pleasure in oatmeal baths. He was quite cooperative during this one.

Guess What! this picture was taken on 7-6-06 and we all knew Matthew was keeping something from us. Well on Saturday, July 8, 2006, we learned what Matthew's "secret" was......... He was coming down with the Chickenpox.......... and only approximately 3 weeks after receiving the Chickenpox vaccine.
They did say there could be a 10% chance of Matthew getting a reaction. I wonder if mommy and daddy can get their money back. Hummmmmmmmmm (just kidding)
I itch just thinking about it. Matthew won't "eat" oatmeal, but has learned the benefits of its oils in his bath.
Love you, sweet baby! grandma w
