Before and After

The night before Jacks surgery I took some photos of his little body before he got in a knife fight with a surgeon.






































waiving to his adoring fans















This is taken nine days after his surgery.



Here he is today; the final scab finally fell off during his bath last night. He is doing amazingly well too. Babies heal SOOO quickly. A little hiccup as you can see, the very bottom of his incision is infected and we're going into the surgeon today to get that all taken care of. Otherwise, all is well! All of the medications but one has been weaned off. He takes two naps a day and is awake about nine hours during the day. What a change! He is hungrier these days, I started giving him rice cereal and baby food. He loves it, but you can't give it to him when he's too hungry otherwise he gets frustrated at the pace. I.want.it.now!!

He loves his walker and the kids love to pull him into their rooms for some time with the boy. Nobody can resist doing a stop and chat with Jack. I think it is pretty much impossible to walk by; Owen, Luke, Lily, Chad--everyone wants their time with the most popular member of our family.
