He has a severe metabolic disorder with a high possibility of strokes.  Henry also has limited mobility and is nonverbal, but that doesn't stop him from being a good communicator. Wish mom Kiera says Henry is very intelligent and has a lot of personality. He excels at communicating without using words. 

One of Henry's favorite things is helping. When Henry is asked to help with something, his eyes light up and he becomes excited. He's been known to assist his mom every week when she donates her time at the soup kitchen. 

Henry's other favorite pastime is kicking. "Henry loves, loves, loves to kick," wrote Kiera. Henry will take any chance he can get to be in water (so he can kick) or sit upright (so he can kick) or be presented with a soccer ball (so he can kick it). 

Henry wished for a hot tub. Spending time in water allows Henry to move freely without constraint, and it also allows him to kick his little legs to his heart's content, making a big splash and showing off his bigger personality.
