Surf on over to see the rest. And please join me in sending good thoughts and prayers to my dear friend Jess and her amazing girlfriend Heather. Jess is in the surgical ICU because of some serious complications (including a scary infection) with the shunt neurosurgeons placed in her brain in January to relieve the impossibly painful intercranial pressure caused by hydroencephaly.

Read all about it -- and leave her encouraging notes -- at her Caring Bridge website.
