Unlike this picture, he really does enjoy his little walks. The only time I thought we might have a problem is when he saw the wagon... he loves to ride in the wagon he has at home. Mike did a good job diverting his attention whenever we came close to the little red wagon. 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.

More strolls around the halls

Auntie Kim and I took Matthew for a walk in his red wagon the night before he went to the hospital. He was having a hard time with the medicine and just felt terrible. The ride around the block in his wagon seemed to calm him down. I'm so sorry he had to go to the hospital but hope he gets well very soon.
