Happy New Year

Happy New Year from the Henry's!!!

We are home after a wonderful Christmas with our dear family! What a blessing it is to live close enough to celebrate and have all of us together this year. Rejoicing in our Savior's birth, Aunt Linda's healing, and Josh's healing. What rejoicing happened in the Henry Family!

This is a picture of Josh and Sarah with our favorite Star Wars characters. We were blessed by our dear friends from church, Max and Donna, to be able to go to OMSI and see the exhibit, see Happy Feet on the OMNIMAX screen (mom still has an upset tummy), have lunch and buy some souvenirs. This is one of the things we were wanting to do - but the surgery and money did not allow to do so.

We had a wonderful time and a very full day of it. To top of our awesome week, Josh's double vision is about gone. We are so pumped by that one. We go this Friday the 5th to see Dr. Yundt again for another CT scan to see how the swelling is going. Then on the 8th - late enough for mom to go, we see our Dr. Carmeitke - our eye specialist and I am holding out for the eye patch going away.

His incisions are healing beautifully, and his hair is growing back so fast it is amazing. Now is the hard time - slowing him down. It is hard to keep him from going a hundred miles an hour and wanting to do everything. He is still very concerned about having to get a shunt - but who would not be, so that is keeping him grounded a bit.

Josh is not looking forward to heading back to school - poor guy. We will be doing some homeschooling this week though. It is awful having mom as a teacher.

Another blessing - we won a family dinner to the Outback. Thanks to Bruce's boss, John we get to go again. Josh was so excited. Although we had steak last night at Grandma's (suppose to be for Aunt Kathy's birthday, but we know Josh was craving it again) Josh is ready to head out to the Outback. I am going to have to work more to keep up with his eating habits.

Well as we look forward to celebrating the New Year coming in with our dear friends The Fields - we know this is a year we will not take health for granted. Join us in celebrating the health and time the Lord has given us here on earth. Share his love to everyone.

Happy 2007!
The Henry Family
Bruce, Lori, Josh and Sarah
