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.

Sandy, the Nurse Practitioner, Annie and Marsha his nurses, and Lisa the Respiratory Therapist all gathered around Matthew's bed for the big event. Lisa started by carefully removing the tape holding his endotrachial tube in place.
