Brave and Bald


Mom was brave and gorgeous today...as you can see from her photo, she decided to shave her head. What do you think? I LOVE it! I think she looks beautiful, and I'm so proud of her for doing this.

I'm going to do a very quick run down of our day again...kids awake at 8:30, babysitter here at 9, Micah cried most of the morning because he thought I was leaving. Megan took Micah on a walk while I left for the hospital . On my way up, I spoke to a friend visiting from out of town...she had extended her stay until Monday. The hospital was mostly on time, and transport agreed to wait for us. We were back at the nursing home by 3...and Mom had her hair done!

She sat there calmly, getting her head shaved. After the shaving, she was able to have her scalp massaged and washed off - and she said it felt wonderful. She did a bit more PT after her hair do. I stayed around until 5:15, then stopped by another hospital near my house to visit my friend's mom (who just had back surgery). We were all home by 7, and we spent the evening hanging out together.

I stumbled onto your blog in the process of recreating mine. I was reading yours and looked over at the time and realized I was about 20 minutes too late to set my alarm. Please know that had I read it sooner, I most certainly, I would have joined you in ringing the bell. Though I am not yeet finished reading your blog, I want you to know that I love it and your mother is ABSOLUTELY beautiful. I pray that she masters the crocheting and she lives a long and healthy life. God Bless your family!
