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.

When I got home today, Matthew was just waking from a nap. He was a little cranky, so I picked him up, sang to him, and changed his diaper. His spirits had lifted by the time I put him down to take these pictures and fire up the barbecue grill.
He looks pretty happy here. He likes helping Daddy.
