Benson was badly burned when the bed he was sleeping in was set on fire by his older brother when he was a baby. The plastic surgeon did some work on his hand particularly on his pinky finger. The burn contracture doesn't allow him to straighten his pinky finger.
Benson also had some surgery on the tendon and skin behind his knee. The tightness will be reduced with this surgery.
His foot was also damaged and the surgeon operated on a couple of his toes better positioning them. This will make it easier for Benson to wear shoes.
Here is Benson recovering from the surgeries in his hospital bed. He spent only the one day in hospital and was released the next morning.
Here is Benson lounging around playing checkers with Manu. He is a happy kid and is enjoying all the extra attention!
