hi tracy!
i was thrilled to read that jake is doing so well. joey also had a ross procedure and is, like jake, doing things he was never able/allowed to do before. he's also running and biking a lot. i joke with him because the only aches and pains he has i attribute to "older age" (lol).
about the scar.... i think i've heard/read that the general rule of thumb for scars (whether chest or face or wherever) is to keep them well protected from the sun (atleast for the first few yrs). plastic surgeons will attest to this too. i know that each time we've gone to warm climates, joey has used zinc (total block) on his scar. i think i read that they heal and disappear more readily when kept out of the sun.
i'm so glad things are going well for jake. he is living the life he should be at his age; good for him.
it was wonderful to hear from you again. come back and visit sometime..best wishes, sylvia
