It didn't take long to realize the extent of lung damage that Matthew had suffered. His premature birth, heart defect which flooded his lungs with blood, open heart surgery, and time spent on a ventilator all combined to severely compromise his little lungs. At one point we were told to prepare ourselves for the thought of a tracheotomy (like Christopher Reeve had).

As much as Matthew (and everyone) hated this mask, it helped to heal his lungs and get him through this bad time.
