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.

While waiting for Dr. Dezenburg, Matthew spent some time trying to turn over on his tummy.
It won't be long now. He wants to do it all. He probably got pretty tired laying on his back all those months. His progress is amazing.
