What a Day!

Posted on August 30, 2009 at 7:24pm 1 Comment

Sundays are my favorite day of the week! I came home this morning from work to find that a water pipe had busted under the house yet again. So I fill up the kitchen sink before he cuts the water off. First I bathe Kaleigh then get her out and start to let the water out. Panic sets in for a split second as I realize if I let the water out there will be none for me and I need to shower before church so I grab the sink stopper and plug the hole. As I'm climbing in the kitchen sink to take my turn… Continue

More hair loss

Posted on August 27, 2009 at 10:18am 0 Comments

Guess I'm not really looking for answers at this point, just coming to accept that we will never know what tomorrow holds. We do have a new bald spot and some more thinning hair. So far, this has all been in the same area, very close to each other. I'm having dreams now, that she is bald and I fall apart. I guess thats my fear, not the baldness but that I fall apart and can't give her the support she needs. I'm to the point now of asking myself how I can turn this into a minsitry. Not that I… Continue

Feelings...

Posted on August 21, 2009 at 12:30pm 0 Comments

I'm not even sure what I feel right now. I am going to school to be a sign language interpreter so I am comfortable with being involved with the Deaf culture/Deaf community and I have always imagined how life would be if my daughter was somehow different from other kids. I thought that I would embrase it with positivity and open mindedness, that it would not change a thing. That I would adapt and do what needed to be done without feeling sad for her but I just can't do that right now. I don't… Continue

Hey Shay, wondering how you and Kaleigh are doing these days? How are the pagents going? We are doing well, gearing up for the holidays.Gracie is going through a frustrating stage where she does not understand "later" and does not agree with "no!" Can't wait for her to really start talking and reasoning to kick it!! :) Angie

Welcome to the site! My daugter is almost 20 mo old, and has had AA since she was 13 mo old. I guess I've been dealing w/ this for awhile--I'm at the point where its not so raw anymore. Friends and family are helpful, but I found the commonality of this site to be the most helpful. Let me know if you have any questions or want to chat! Angie

Hello and welcome, Shay!
There is also a lot of good information on the National Alopecia Areata Foundation web site. When she is ready for school, you can get a free school pack which includes a video that the teachers can play for the school to help everyone understand the condition.
Go to www.naaf.org.

Hi Shay, your daughter is the cutest thing? This condition can take a toll on us as parents emotionally. Once you have time to absorb it all things will get better. How are you and your daughter doing? I hope you find the comfort in this site that we do..Cindy
