Hi,
It's nice to see you here. I hope you're finding support. Sometimes it's harder being a parent of a child with alopecia than it is for the kid!
Hope you are doing okay today!

Hi! Thanks for asking. She is continuing to loose hair, I would say she has about 40% remaining on her head. She isn't loosing as much though....of course there isn't as much to loose anymore. A couple of weeks ago I was in the car with her on the way to her doctor to try and see if we could get her appointment moved up for the specialist. I had cried and she could tell that I was very sad. She said, "Mom, why are you so sad?" I replied, "because you are loosing your hair and I just wish I could give you all of mine." She asked me to please stop being sad and so I looked at her and said, "Sis, how do you feel about what is happening to you right now, loosing your hair, living with alopecia?" She thought for a long ,silent moment, and then replied, "I suppose that a part of me is thankful for having it." I almost fell out of my seat!!! WHAT THANKFUL????? Obviously she could tell I was shocked by her response, and then went on to say, "I feel that the alopecia keeps me humble. It keeps me being the kind of person that I am. I could act like those other girls and be a snob or think I am smarter or a better athlete, but I don't. I know that, although I am good at many things, I am not perfect, and it is okay. I like being me, being who I am." So let's just say that as a mother, women, and human being, I continue to grow and develop in realizing the things that are most important in life. My daughter has taken many opportunities to be my teacher!
