Henry

When I found out I had an acoustic neuroma, I didn't try to protect Henry. We told him the basic facts and he accepted it and moved on. When he came and visited me in the hospital, he would glance at my scar and then cower into Aaron.  I could tell he didn't like it.  Aaron e-mailed his school teacher about the surgery and she suggested he meet with the school social worker. Because of his reaction, Aaron and I felt it would be a good idea, just to make sure Henry is doing okay.  They met a couple days ago and this is the resulting picture. We have the whole family, plus Link!

Turns out, Henry is doing well, but he does think the scar is scary.  I mean, look at that scar on me! Henry thinks I will be fine and if he gets worried, he will play Wii, well, at least that is his plan. When he is around, I keep the stitches covered, but that is it. 

It is nice to know from an outsider that Henry is doing well.
