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.

What a tease. This looked promising. We'll just keep hoping. Crackers or no crackers, he definitely looks healthy.
I love you Matthew. Grandma Sue
yep...he likes to tease us and get our hopes all up!
All in good time... hopefully he'll find that ONE food and just eat and eat! Fingers crossed it's not something made from butter then deep fried in oil ;)
I'm beginning to wonder if Matthew's large tonsils and possibly adnoids could be affecting Matthew's swallowing. His Uncle Keith could not eat cookies, crackers, etc when he was that age. He had been very ill for 18 months and it had caused the adnoids to fill up all the air passages in his heard; thus affecting the swallowing process. Once the adnoids were removed, he was able to shovel "anything" down the ole tubes. It's sure worth taking a look at. Of course, this does not dismiss the oral aversion due to all the tubes; but maybe we have a two fold problem here.......
At least, Matthew did make the attempt. Ha ha Love you sweet baby, grandma w
