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.
Gosh he looks so grown up in this picture. He is always dressed so cute. It hurts to see him having any pain, but hopefully this will keep him healthy all winter and beyond.
The next day I asked Matthew where he got his shot and he held the "other" arm. Ha ha Thank God he has had both the H1N1 shots he needs. I've had both my regular and H1N1 shots and hope I am ready for this years flu season. Just want to do my part in helping to keep Magoo healthy this winter. He had such a bad summer.
WOW! He looks amazing!!! This is Sandra (one of his original nurses from Summerlin hospital) It's been a long time...too long. Life has changed and we're now in Colorado. Please contact me at skmartinez@comcast.net I'd love to hear from you!!!!!!!
Oh that precious baby!! But thank God he's NOT a baby anymore. Magoo is growing into a fine, young man!! Still haven't given up the dream of meeting all of you someday. WOW! It's been quite a journey since crabby discovered your blog. Love you, King Family!
He's so cute...
ReplyDeletehe has a comfort sucker in his left hand....
a lady in the elevator said to him, "aww, you are so brave"... and he looked up at her with those puppy dog eyes, holding his little arm...
I would be holding my arm too! I hate injections.
ReplyDeleteHe is adorable... and looking so much better too.
