Tommy's hair has been falling out like crazy the last couple of days. He would wake up and there was hair all over his pillow and blankie, when we washed his hair half of it was gone when he got out of the shower. He had had it with hair all over him! So yesterday I called Tom and said you need to come home and shave Tommy's head, ASAP! I asked him if he wanted me to call all his cousins and friends over again, and he said no he didn't want everyone watching him this time. So it was just the family. It was quite emotional, I was surprised it was that hard the second time around. I think because you think of all that he has been through at such a young age, and what a trooper he has been the whole time. I am amazed at his attituda, besides being on the steriods the last couple weeks, he has been such a sweetheart and has grown-up a lot through this process. He looks so cute with his little bald head, I love to just sit and rub it it's so soft. I am looking forward to his hair growing back and to see what color and texture it will be next. It's a nice cut for summer, just have to lather on the old sunblock!
I love their little bald heads! They are my favorite... I have heard from more than one family how sad they are when it starts to grow back--I always thought they were crazy but it is true! And Tommy looks stinkin' cute! You will be surprised that you miss his bald little head once his hair does start to grow back in! Even now, I sometimes miss Jake's head! (Although it is fun to see how much it changes!) I am happy to hear you guys are doing as well as can be at this point! You are almost through the worst part! Yeah! I promise it only gets easier! We think about you guys often and really do need to get those two boys together soon! Let us know if you need anything...

You have such faith and love and I know that you will make it through this and touch so many people as you do, you have touched me and my family and I thank you for that. You will be in our prayers!
