BALD and BEAUTIFUL...

The list of possible side effects from chemotherapy is extensive. Sara has not had to deal with too many of them, but the hair loss set in earlier this week. It started on Monday with 10s of hairs coming out when she washed her hair. By Friday morning, her pillow was covered with hair when she woke up (100s of hairs).

So, this weekend was Sara's HEAD SHAVING PARTY. Her entire family came to the lake for the special occasion.

Sara's head shaving turned out to be MUCH more traumatic (lots of tears) on our parents than it was for Sara. Sara was not phased by it!

We were joking earlier on this week about God practicing his math skills, namely subtraction.

Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from the will of your Father. AND EVEN THE VERY HAIRS OF YOUR HEAD ARE ALL NUMBERED. So don't be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows. --Matthew 10:29-31

Sara will have her next dose of chemo on Monday, and if all goes as planned, we should be closing on our house next week.

The pictures are hilarious. I must say that I feel kinda left out that I couldn't participate. Naw, just kidding. My vote is for Wig 2 but if you can't find a wig that will suffice, there's a place out here in Hawaii called "Da Wig Shop" that should surely meet your needs! LOL. I'm so glad that you guys can find a way to laugh with this experience. As I will always say, you guys are 2 incredible people! Keep me posted.
