    Hi Kristy,
    Our summer went so fast and I haven't been on the site. Alyssa is doing very well. The injections are given once a month and I also use Rogaine (very sparingly) too. Her hair is growing back nicely, of course this disease is so unpredictable that I am always concerned it will start falling out again. But for now, we are happy with the progress. Before she gets the injections, we use Lidocaine 2 hours beforehand to numb the area, this seems to help her get through it. Whether this is the right approach, I don't know, but for now it is our course of action. I hope Kira has a great timr at school, and maybe the girls can write to each other again. Thanks for writing!

    Birthday ideas: mall makeover, shopping trip with a teen neighbor or relative for an outfit, fancy restaurant and live theatre performance in all that finery with friends or cousins along. Sleepover with pizza and decorating cookies afterwards. Pancake or waffle party in the morning, with a favorite movie or two and hot cocoa. Don't forget the marshmallows. Making up holiday songs with new lyrics about rock and movie stars, then a pretend variety show performance of the songs. Nothing related to hair...unless they write the songs about all those stars waking up Christmas morning with none, and what THEY would sing!!!
