Trich

So Rudolph and Del-mar are doing well :)

She's telling me when she "needs hair", so the openness seems to be working. The frantic look and desperation in her voice when she tells me this is reassuring that this is very real.

We've taken out the shame and scolding which was only because we were ignorant to the disease. Openness and positivity has been life changing.

I don't believe we found newly pulled hair so that tells me it's working. Little prickly hairs tell me it's true!

It will be interesting to see how her anixiety and stress is handled when she starts kindergarten in the fall. She is so looking forward to it! I think I'm more nervous than her. I'm ready for it and I'm not. If trich comes back full force homeschooling is always an option that I'd be for 100%.

The hairball that Alyssa carries around is still a bit weird to me, but I'll take weird before bald little girl any day.

Well that's where we are at today. I feel good, happy with the changes we've made as a family.

I thank God daily for my 3 beautiful children who may have issues but they are ultimately happy and healthy that is huge!
