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.

Home Improvement
Matthew couldn't wait to help me hang Amy's new birdie-perch. We took a severe detour when the tape measure came out.
I wonder "how" the tape measure got broken. Hummmmmm? Matthew did look like he tried to tie it together at one point. Ha Ha
There is no doubt our man on the scene was eager to help daddy. With an entire house full of toys, daddy's tools are the most fun of all.
Amy appeared very happy today while jabbering and singing on her new perch. Matthew can no longer take her old perch on wheels and slam it into the wall.(ouch) Amy can breath a sigh of relief now that she is safely on a stable perch away from little hands.
The days of doing things "alone" are over, dad. It's team work all the way. So what if it takes you twice as long. Remember, "patience" is a virtue! Love you guys, grandma wright
What a great job, and Daddy's little helper really added that special touch. I just LOVE this! I'm so happy to see your son taking after you and liking to do things around the house.
I bet Mommy is thrilled to have her two guys doing great work.
Daddy's little helper!!
ReplyDelete"Tool Time Matthew" at work....
I love the one of him holding up the tape measurer in awe!
I love the new bird perch that Mike built... took about 5 or 6 Saturday's (I would guess about 40 hours) in the workshop to build that....
