You would never know it to look at this photo but yesterday was one of our toughest visits. Before we left the house we were told that Matthew was approved for Social Security. By the time we got to the hospital, it came to light that we were approved in California not in Nevada. Then, while Terri worked the phones and faxed letters, I got to hold Matthew. After some time I could hear his breathing become congested. Matthew�s Nurse Aimee helped me suction his nose and got a small glob of snot out. No sooner was the suctioning done, then Matthew became extremely agitated, cried profusely, and turned as blue as the Boppy shown in this picture. Aimee had to give him a dose of Versed to calm him down because in his anger, his airways had clamped down.
