    Hi Rhonda,
    How are you and your granddaughter? My daughter is 7 and she has had alopecia since she was 4. It has gotten worse only recently in the past 3 months. She is trying to come to terms with it but is sometimes frustrated by it. Please feel free to ask me anything. I am quite new to this as well but I would like to help if I ca.

    Sounds like a fun trip! I've never been to St. Louis but always think of the Judy Garland movie, Meet Me in St. Louis!

    Hi Rhonda! Thank you for the friend request. How is your grand daughter doing? My daughter Samantha has her own page if she'd like to post a message to her. Cindy

    Hi Rhonda, Sam likes having her own page I moderate it all. It gives her some independence and she can only go on if her log her in. There are lots of girls her age on AW..Sam has always been very accepting of her hair loss. She has now been wig free for 4 months. Most of her hair is back and her brows are slowly returning. I have no experience with wigs for kids. What is there program like? Samantha will enjoy writing to your grand-daughter.

    Hi Rhonda, I just read about your wig purchase on another thread. I wanted to suggest that you contact the Hair club for kids. www.hairclub.com. They offer 3 free hair replacements a year and 8 free services. Sam wore 3 of them over the course of a year. They can be taped on. A lot of kids on here wear them and love them. YOu need to get the application and have a doctor sign it b/c of the medical grade tape used. Then they will measure her head and match a color to the hair she has or from a picture. Sam wore her wig with her regrowth and we had no problems. Please let me know if I can be of any help. Cindy

    Hi! I feel for your granddaughter. I still have some hair left so mine is a custom made European human hair clip on one. It was actually made for someone else who ended up not buying it, so i got it discounted, but it was still quite pricey. The hair is hand sewn in to make it flow more naturally. I am an extremely active cow girl. I spend my life on the back of my horse any chance I get, but I actually don't wear my wig riding. My horses don't mind me being bald. =)
    I am trying to make this one last as long as possible.

    Hi Rhonda,

    It is nice to hear from you. I am glad the hair club has worked out for your grand daughter. Sam has regrown all of her hair except eyelashes. She has been doing the squaric acid treatments.

    As far as the web you would need to either log out to rejoin to create the page or maybe set it up from another computer you don't log into FB with to set it up. Just follow the steps when you do the join now. You may need to use a different email address as I did. You can simply create a free gmail or hotmail account to use. Samantha has her own gmail account, and she likes it. It lets her do different things, age appropriate in the body of the email. Hope this helps..Cindy
