    I hope you have a good apt with the derm you are going to see. Children with hair loss will send you a free wig that is temp. They probably are waiting to get a color match. To be honest, we got one for Samantha and it was not something she wanted to wear. But, they will send you to a local place that works with them to make a custom hair piec and cut and trip the hair they send you. You will need to go to the place they send you because it will be a lot of hair and you will need an adhesive for it. I never bothered because she had a wig she liked and we found hair club for kids and got a free wig through them. Unfortunately, the kids have to be at least age 6 to get a hair replacement. The hair club give 3 free hair replacements a year to kids 6-17..The best think I can suggest for now is to cover up with headbands the best you can or hats. Samantha also wears headbands with hair sewn into them. you can see them on www.hatswithhair.com. Good luck and let me know how it goes..
