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.

Terri is consistent and persistent with Matthew's physical therapy. He gets a short amount of tummy-time every day.
Your patience is amazing Terri and it really is paying off. Just look at the strength in his arms. He even seems to be enjoying it.
ReplyDeleteGreat work Mommy - you're the best!

P.S. I think you could have a whole new career in Physical Therapy.
