Two Months ago today Matthew was in trouble. His doctors in Las Vegas had to intubate him and said they could no longer medically mange him. His Co2 levels had spiked to 108. His kidneys showed signs of calcium buildup from all the Lasix (diuretic). Matthew needed his heart surgery and much sooner than the scheduled August 24th date. What a difference two months makes. Now his heart is fixed and his lungs look better every day. He is tolerating the feeds going into his stomach so more volume is being added. Before each subsequent feeding, Raji performs a �draw back� test where she attempts to draw back any residual formula from his stomach with an empty syringe. A minimal amount proves that he is digesting the rest. Matthew enjoyed his second day in a row of weight gain. He is just under 8lbs. Margo the singing Respiratory Therapist called Matthew�s room on her day off just to see how he was doing. Dr. Mayman, the best Cardiologist in Nevada, called to check in as well. He said that he would like to see us back at Sunrise Hospital in Las Vegas. That way we could transition Matthew to home life locally. When I think about going home I look over to Matthew�s bed and smile for all the fun and love he has to look forward to. I also can�t help but notice the present situation he finds himself in. You see, Raji and Tracey are at his bedside coaxing him to smile, then cheering when he does so. Rod Stewart said it best, �Some guys have all the fun.�
