Matthew's Blog

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's new G-Tube makes it less bothersome to be on his tummy. Here Terri turned him on his tummy for a short time without any protest from Matthew. "Tummy-Time" is important developmentally because it builds upper body strength as he pushes up with his arms.

He is really trying now. He doesn't want to miss a thing.

God Bless you.
