Sunday night we were taking our bath and I washed what is left of Meggy's hair - and YES I use Nioxin. I know that it is probably pointless but we use it anyway. Megan likes the way it smells and likes that she has her own shampoo that the boys don't use. Anyway, I noticed when we were drying off that she has 2 news spots on the side that still has alittle hair left. You know I tell myself that this is gonna happen but when that much is gone in the little time that we were in the bath it breaks my heart! I am just down this week, I am happy when my kids are with me, but in private I am just down.. It's got to get easier - RIGHT??
At Megan's age it is harder on the mommys! We want to shield our children from any pain and saddness. I want to shield her from the looks that she gets in the stores from the ladies that come up to us and say "whats wrong with her". You just feel helpless b/c you want to make it stop and you can't it is not in your hands. I have been talking to another mommy who's daughter started losing her hair about the same age as Megan was. She is now 7 and has lost all of the hair on her head as well as her eyebrows. She is such a beautiful little girl and has such a great outlook on her condition. She said that in the beginning when it starts to get bad it is a mourning process . I know exactly what she means , I am mourning the hair that was once there. Mourning the possiblilities that my daughter might never have. Getting her hair done for prom, having girl's night sitting around doing hair and make-overs. Its the little things that I want for her and it is not fair! There is nothing we can do to make it go away, except tell them how beautiful they are and how much we love them. Be greatful for what we do have. She is here and otherwise a very healthy happy little girl who picks on her brothers ALOT!!
