Are you joining us for the picnic in Troy, MI on June 4th?

It is supposed to storm tomorow during the day, could we maybe do it another day?

Would 10:00 be okay, we can meet infront of the ticket booths?

That would be great, what time would you like to meet?

most of the time im open tuesdays for lucch and just saturdays work ;better cause i dont usually work on sat nights. when is good for you

welcome to michigan you live right around the corner from me. my daughter 5 had alopecia areata. about 75% loss currently. We should meet for a playdate!!!!

That will be fine, this next week is getting filled up quickly.

This will be our first time starting school with Alopecia, too. He lost it around Thanksgiving last year, and so it was just him with all the kids he knew. This will be the first time he goes into a class with it, and I'm not much help to you because we're in the same boat. We're really hoping the HCC works out before then. There have been complications (I thought we sent the paperwork, they didn't have it, I faxed it, no updates) but my brother just stopped by his local office (the closest one to us) and they do have the wig, so there is hope that we'll have that option.

I just try really hard not to make it sound like having hair is better or worse than having no hair. Blonde, brunette, bald, all the same to me is the attitude I'm going for.

Unfortunately his best friend yesterday got wild and was trying to be funny and said Boo had a stupid haircut. Boo responded by trying to choke him. So...I'm pretty worried about the start of school.

Thats fine, I really don't have a preference.

How about the 11th or 12th or the one day the following week?

We are members of that zoo so that would be great, I don't work during the summer and we don't have much planned for the next month (at least during the week) so if there is a day that works for you let me know.

We are only about an hour northwest of lansing, I am not real familair with the area if there is a park or a zoo near you maybe we could meet there. Nicholas has never seen anyone else with alopecia, he asks if other people have it, he is also AU.

My son had a great year at school even with losing all of his hair. He is a confident child and excels at various sports which has really helped him. He does not like to talk about his hair loss so I'm never really sure how it is effecting him. He only wears a hat when he is outside. He starts middle school in the fall. I am worried about the transition. We don't know any kids around here with alopecia. How is your son doing?

Hi Tracy,
My son was in kindergarten last year; the school allows him to wear a hat to school which comforts him. He thought nobody knew he was bald but everybody did, when I was at school with him I could see the kids looking at him quizzically but he didn't seem to notice. Thankfully most kindergarteners do not judge, it seems it was the older kids that should know better that teased him. He is afraid of kids making fun of him and we are still trying to instill the confidence of going to school hat free but I don't think that will happen this year. I think next year I will begin the school year by going to his classroom while he is not there and talking to the kids about alopecia. I have discussed this with him and he thinks it is a good idea. He is fun loving and confident around the people he knows well but when you get him out of that circle he is not as out going.

Hi Tracy,
Thanks for the email. We probably have a lot in common in how our son's are dealing with their hairloss.I look forward to getting to know you.

My son Marcus lost all his hair in 3 month period and started with AU which has progressed to AT. This was just last November, when he started Kindergarten. He seems to be ok with it. Much easier in the summer, his head is not so hot, other than my being very vigilant about sunburns.

How is your son Ian, dealing with this change?
