We have a handful of pictures of Henry when he looks really sick. Lucas took couple on his cell phone, when he was first diagnosed with cancer, when he was intubated. I have a hard time looking at those pictures. It brings back so many memories, both good and bad. I suppose we try to take more pictures of when he looks better... who want to be reminded of how sick and pathetic your child looks. But, I realize that this is his life right now... and if we want to remind him on a daily basis as he grows up how much he owes us... I should have a few pictures of pathetic Henry in here too. How else can I tell him I won't buy him a car, because when he was three, he made us both age 10 years?
This is our first day in PICU, on hospital stay three this summer. Still sweet, but so sad.
