Here is the most handsome grandson anyone could have!! Well, he has a couple of cousins who are pretty cute too! ;-)
He is also so very precious!! His smile lights up the entire room!
In the pre-dawn hours yesterday, Matthew, along with his mom and dad, boarded a plane and flew to Boston. According to Will, he was a huge flirt on the airplane, no doubt winning the hearts of total strangers!!
They arrived safely and spent the rest of the day chillin' and getting ready for a big week of testing and doctor visits.These tests will give the surgeon a "game plan" for the surgery. Our hope is that they will be able to recruit the left side of Matthew's heart to function. Bi-ventricular function would be HUGE--let's pray for that!
enjoying the excitement. I know he loves being with his mom and dad all day and night!
On Monday, May 16th (Matthew's 5 month birthday), he will have his second OHS -- the Glenn
procedure. This surgery will make him LOTS better.
We are really looking forward to a family/friend celebration party when they get back home!!
My Mother's Day gift from Will, Nikki and, of course, Matthew is pictured below. Totally a wonderful gift. Matthew's Aunt Jen says it looks like his first effort to "hang 10!!" :-) Before we know it, he'll be on a surf board in the gulf saying, "hey, y'all, watch this!"

We will absolutely be praying for Matthew and family. Sam was a totally different kid after his Glenn - it was such a blessing but such a difficult thing to prepare for and go through. Keep the updates coming! Matthew looks so big!
