Well, nothing much has changed at our house... We hooked up with a fabulous guy in Carrollton who fitted Shannon with an Amy's Presence wig that fits her properly and is human hair, this was in the summer before school started. She looks fabulous. It's starting to thin at the part, so I imagine we'll have to send it in for some rehab after school lets out. He also said before summer camp NEXT year he can get us a synthetic that's not quite so expensive for swimming and messing around at camp, because it was SO tangled when she got home!!

Shannon is active in sports, she's made the 'A' volleyball and basketball teams and is also planning to run track in the spring. I'm going back to school now to become a nurse, eventually a nurse practitioner, and leave the computer industry. (YAY!) So things are insanely busy.

Shannon keeps growing some "fuzz" but it never gets very long. Right now she's got some growth that looks like it might be actual hair, but it's very light and still patchy and isn't growing past about 1/2 inch so it's hard to tell whether it'll grow on in. We looked at doing a vacuum wig, but from everything we can tell, she'd have to keep shaved smooth, and she's not ready to do that right now. :)

Of course, she wishes in 7th grade she had a more normal life, but overall she's doing really well handling all of this. I'm so proud of her.
