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.

A byproduct of Matthew's pain medications is a periodic startled response that jars him out of an otherwise peaceful sleep. He spreads his arms out like he is falling and looks around desperately for a familiar face. Therefore, Grandma Wright and I stayed in close proximity almost the entire day.

This is such a great picture. Matthew always feels secure with his Daddy & Grandma Wright close by. It has been wonderful for me to spend this past week with Grandma Wright and Auntie Kim. Their love and devotion to Matthew is unquestionable. I know they will miss him when they leave. With God's help, it should only be a short time before he is able to return home to continue his life of happiness and fun.

We all love you Matthew.
