[quote=Anonymous]My 10-year-old needs surgery on the outside of her upper arm, and the doctor has emphasized that there's going to be a "much bigger than you'd think and possibly thick" permanent scar. :-( She is pretty upset about this. Has anyone btdt with their child and something like this, and can you share what made them feel better? I keep telling her that between looks and use, it's more important to have full and comfortable use of her arm, and she intellectually agrees but she's pretty bummed. She understands that the surgery isn't that bad and that her situation could be worse, but she's only 10 and she's sad and crying about it. Part of it is, I'm sure, being scared of the surgery, but most of her emotions are focused on the scar. Thanks for any advice. [/quote]
