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.

To the left you can see Matthew's overnight feeding machine. To keep the breast milk from souring, we have to get up twice a night to replenish the feed bag.
You finally get to hold your little son the way it should be. You both look so content. It warms my heart.
