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.

The Puddle Jumper
Puddles are like windows into a child's soul and, thus, they are given a toddler's undivided attention. Matthew runs to a puddle like ferrous metal to a magnet. Copious hand and feet splashes are followed by giggles & laughter. it is infectious.
This are absolutely the cutest pictures. He is having a great time and you can see the laughter and excitement. I remember when he laughed so hard when Michael was giving Quixa a bath in the big tub outside. He thought that was hilarious. You have captured his darling face, his excitement, exploration, the feeling of wet feet and a boy just being a boy. Love these pictures!!
I have lots of captions for all these pictures. They all captured Matthew's splendid personality, the sweetness of his soul and the simple amusement of a child. To say that he is "all boy" is putting it mildly. He has such a zest for life and has fun with the simplist of things.
I just spent three full days camping with this bundle of energy and got my "laughter" therapy big time. I came home with a "smiley heart". Then to see these pictures......
I love the one where Quixa is looking to see "what" was so amusing and captivating for her little master.
I love you "precious" little boy! Your play companion, grandma wright
