Bald and Beautiful

Hello all! Hope everyone had a wonderful week. We did not go to UCLA this past Tuesday. I realized that I forgot to mention we do not have to go back down to UCLA until Nov 18th. We would have only had a two week break, but they will be closed for Veterans Day and they don't expect her counts to be high enough anyway.

She had been really hanging in there and making me feel as though this was not going to be that bad.....until the weekend after Halloween. She since has become very tired and just not herself. Very quite. When Diana came she was wondering if her blood levels were low. She even noticed a difference. I figured that all the chemo was just catching up with her, and now I am pretty sure I am right.

She began losing her hair Monday...... so Wednesday we went to Matthew's fire station and had our head shaving party. I am amazed that when it started coming out it just came out. We were going to try to wait until Matthew came home Friday, but she was not going to make it. She was miserable! It was tickling her arms and face, and everytime she would lay down on a blanket a whole bunch of it would be all over the place when she got up. I could tell it was really getting to her. She wanted to go to the station and do it, so we went! We all did except for Logan. She has had a hard time with this. Adam even climbed up in the chair and got his shaved. A couple of the guys from the station sported the bald do in support of Ryan, and that was awesome for her to be able to help shave their heads. We are all baldies and we are all starting to get used to it. Even Logan!!

I will post pictures as soon as I can we are having some serious issues with our computer and internet. Hang in there and I will have a lot to post!!!!
