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.

We love comments! Seeing "comments" on the blog is as fun as hearing "you've got mail" !!
Very cute video!!! I love the drum set!!! Matthew looks GREAT; I hope he is doing well!!! Thanks for always posting comments on Lincoln's blog; it is very encouraging!!! Love you guys, Kristen
Kristen's adorable baby, Lincoln has been in the hospital for 7 months (AWAY FROM HOME)... waiting for a heart transplant. He's only 7 months old... and such a doll.
Terrie, I have been reading through your old posts, and I must say you are an AMAZING woman! I can not begin to put into words how moved I have been by all your experiences. I can not even imagine the difficulty it must be to watch the love of your life suffer so! However, it looks like he is having himself quite a time these days! I am SO glad I found your blog. You really put a lot of things in perspective for me! I will continue to pray for you and your husband....and ESPECIALLY that DARLING little man!
Terrie, I have been going through some of your past posts and Matthew's story is amazing! It is difficult to put into words how much your struggle has touched my heart. Seems to be a little perspective on life! May God bless you and your beautiful family!
By now you have observed that I am not a woman of "few words". LOL
I make it a point to comment on the pictures in Matthew's Blog because I know that someday Matthew will be reading them. He will know then how much I took the time to love him while he was growing up.
Join us during this adventure in time and be counted as among Matthew's many beloved friends. Just think of it as "making history" happen.
Besides, I don't want to go down in his history as hogging the Blog. chuckle chuckle... I actually love seeing your coments as much as Terri and Michael do. Join Us, ya hear! grandma wright
Q of M, Thank you so much for the very nice and touching comment... but really, I'm not amazing at all ... you would have done all the same things we've done...
The amazing one is truly Matthew... after all this baby has been thru ... and he still has the greatest disposition! He's just a joy and such fun.
It is so fun to think of new things to say and be a part of the ever-growing group of people putting our feelings into words for all to see. This has been a life-long experience since day one when our baby Matthew enriched our lives with his bravery and perseverance throughout all he has been through. We all love him so much and pray that his life will always be happy and full of new adventures. He is truly a gift from God. I love my Son, his beautiful Terri and precious Matthew and thank them for giving me my life's wish.
Thank's "Mamma" for the image...
