Matthew Back At Columbia

After enjoying a quiet Easter and a busy week going up to the Capital Building in Hartford with Michael's 3rd grade class while Matthew spent some quality time with a friend, we assumed everything was on a good trajectory with Matthew's health.  Everything seemed to be looking up.

Unfortunately, Wednesday evening around midnight Matthew threw up and his health quickly deteriorated.  By 5 am Thursday morning, we were back in the Emergency Room at Columbia.  The team worked quickly and were able to make him stable and we are now in ICU.

Thursday was up and down and there are many theories as to what might be causing this.  The long and short is that his fontan is compromised (what they attempted to fix during his surgery back in November).  The fenestration is closing and they thought maybe it was something called Plastic Bronchitis. 

This morning, Matthew went back in for a cardiac catheterization with Dr. Vincent to see if they can figure out what is going on and what to do.  They will get a full picture and we hope to know more later today.

We are surrounded by the most amazing team of doctors in the best place we could possibly be with the love of our family and friends covering us like a warm blanket. 

Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers as we truly need as many as we can get right now.

Thank you again.
