This morning as I was feeding Sammy his bottle, I watched Elijah run around the room with all of his crazy energy. Underneath all of his flowing hair, I spotted a bald patch on the back of his head about the size of a golf ball. My heart sank. I called the doctor and got him an appointment right away.
The doctor thinks that the most likely scenario is that he has stress-induced alopecia, the stress obviously being his recent surgery. There is a good chance that he will lose more, but there is also a good chance that it will grow back.
I realize there are much worse things to have happen, but I'm feeling sad and defeated. My heart is heavy and I don't feel like I can handle this. Not now. I want to lock myself in my bedroom and cry.
So that is our story today..
