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.
This is one of Matthew's typical sweet smiles that pierces the heart and plays on the heart strings. While playing with him, he will turn and give me one of his "special" smiles which tells me he is "happy" I am there with him. Time spent with Matthew goes by very quickly and it is difficult to pull myself away from this jovial little boy and go home. I get this same smile when I arrive and he seems sad when I leave. I hope I can always make a difference in his life and will always have Matthew's seal of approval through life. It is so important to me. Love you sweet baby! grandms w
