you may or may not want to see this

but here it goes.

here we are just before surgery. we were both a tad nervous but we had no idea how nervous we should have been.

here is jeffs best friend the ANESTHESIOLOGIST. those guys are my best friend too, i just love the way they make me feel during delivery. :) this isn't about me though.

here he is in I.C.U. just after surgery he was pretty out of it for quite a while.

here we are at home. isn't that pretty? i know not everyone likes to see these things but here it is, the war wounds, looking pretty good.

for those of you who don't know jeff had gastric bypass surgery last wed. and things didn't go as planned. to much to go into but let me just say they had to do two surgeries, one lapriscopic and the other one open. the recovery hasn't been pleasant so far but he is doing SO MUCH BETTER.

last tuesday he was 392 lbs. and yesterday he was 367 lbs. not to shabby huh? the food thing isn't great for him right now. he can barely finish an ounce of food at one time. (he is supposed to have 1/4 of a cup at a time) his stomach is the size of his thumb due to the complications but it will stretch and he will be able eat more soon.

things are looking up and he's feeling a little better every day, which makes us all feel better. we'll keep you updated on the weight loss and his recovery.

Is it me or does the anesthsiologist look like William Hung from that angle? :)
