My name is Alieena i am 5yrs old, my birthday is Aug 27, 2003. I have Alopecia Areata. I love animals, mostly horses, but any animal will do. I enjoy horse back riding, swimming, and playing. I have a stuffed cat that I have had since the day I was born and its my best friend I take Kitty everywhere. Kitty makes me brave, she goes to the doctors with me and sits in my lap. (hi my name is Jennifer I am Alieenas mother thank you so much for having a site like this, its going to help so much.)
***UPDATE***
Alieena is doing well. We have decided not to go back to the doctors and just see what happens. In the spots where she had bold patches lots of hair has started to regrow. But with regrowth there has been a few more spots that have fallen out. But her hopes and spirts are high, I have decided that I cant protect her from the world that she will have to face it one day, so she starts Gymnastics on Tuesdays, and we go to the gym Mon, Wed, and Fri nights and she plays with the children in the daycare. She is doing so much better. I will have some new pics posted soon.
*****NEW UPDATE****
Today Alieena graduated from Kindergarten! Man is she getting so big. Her AA is getting better, and worse at the same time. Some of the first patches that fell out have started to grow back in, but then there are some new patches that have fallen out. Its like when some part starts to grow in another falls out x2. I will try to post some new pics soon.
Hi Jennifer,
I read your profile on your daughter and it sounds like my daughters same story. Even the pics of your daughter look similar to my daughters hair. She will be 7 in 2 weeks and she has had alopecia since she was 4. She is starting to be more conscious of it this past year. Right now she can hide it easily but I worry if and when it gets worse and we wont be able to hide it anymore. Luckily she is involved in a lot of activities and really does not have time to worry. Your daughter is precious. It really helps to talk this out with other parents going through this.
