Well, my mom and I took Kayleigh today to be measured for her wig. Yes, her hair is expected to all fall out. This was devastating news to her (and our family) at first. I believe she's okay with it now. We are very grateful for the Hair for Kids program that Becca's 3700 Hair Studio provides, as Kayleigh will receive a wig at no cost to us that's made of "real" hair. Kayleigh is insistent about having hair. We all think she'll be just cute as can be in hats and scarves, but she truly feels that she needs hair and is afraid of being made fun of. :( So, she was measured, hair color matched, and we were told it should be ready by next week and Becca would style it for her.
When talking with Kayleigh about her hair loss and how her hair could come back different...curly, straighter, thicker, darker, lighter...she responded with, "I don't want it to come back red!" No offense to any of your beautiful red heads, our daughter just doesn't happen to want to be one. :) She will be beautiful no matter how it comes back!
Needless to say, we had an eventful car ride home, as she continually got sick all the way. Another wonderful side effect from the chemo! I just keep reminder her and our family that the chemo is working and this will all be worth it in the end. I don't thinks he quite believes me at times, and I guess I don't really either all of the time, but I still keep trying to remind us of that.
