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.

Matthew was such a trooper. He barely cried at all when his new "Mickey Button" was installed. I have to complement Terri as well. She was taught by Nurse Aubrey to install the button herself and didn't even get weak in the knees.
He's flirting w/ Aubrey...
