Jose's benefactors have been patiently waiting for post-operative photos of the surgery they donated. I have been reluctant to post any before now, as they were a little graphic. He had many stitches and was still fairly swollen for the first 5 days after surgery.
The photos below show Jose from 2 days ago. As you can see, he is still quite swollen and has a drain in his incision. Scrolling down to the post on August 12th will give you a comparison of how he looked before surgery.
The physician in scrubs with Jose is Dr. Blaise Baxter, who is one of the "angels" in Jose's journey to health. He donated seven interventional radiology treatments for Jose since September of '08, which were instrumental in the success of his surgery in NY.
What a brave little boy.
