Gone is the hair and the 2nd Chemo

Before Picture








During











After




As I wrote before we shaved my head on Monday and the boys helped daddy do it; well they held on to the clippers for a little time while he actually shaved it. He left hair for a mohawk but as you can see it wouldn't spike very well and a lot of hair was coming out as I put the gel on it; so I decided we should just shave the whole thing. Later I shaved it like Derek's face; but I now have a huge selection of hats and scarves.

Yesterday was the 2nd Chemo treatment. It only took 6 hours this time as apposed to the 8 hours it took the first time. When I got home I felt so tired. I feel tired today but hopefully that will clear up soon. I also got a flu shot on Tuesday along with the boys to help us not get as sick. The next Chemo is November 8th, I believe. After that I will be half way done!!!

I have been thinking about you a lot! You are soo beautiful, you even look great with a mohawk and no hair! How great that you thought to let the boys play with your mohawk! You are so brave, I just love you!

I bet your boys had so much fun giving mommy a mowhawk! Even with a short hairdo, your smile and strength shine through! I'm happy to hear that things are going well for you. Please know you're in my prayers.

Oh Katie you pretty girl - nothing can take that sparkle from your eyes. :) I made polenta the other day and thought about you always eating corn grits in the morning at the DTC. :) You continue to be on my mind and in our prayers. Deb
