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..

OH Megan....
don't be sad. E's got enough lovely locks to do a good-size combover if you needed to.
I know this must be all so overwhelming...I don't EVEN want to think about our next surgery. You are one of the bravest mama's out there. You'll get through this too. I'm hugging you from a FAR SUNNIER place than Wa!!!

Kate's Oompa had alopecia when he was young. Now, at well over 60, he always gets comments when he gets his haircut about how much hair he has. This too shall pass.

Sweet Megan -

It truly is rare to locate a specialist in whom you can have some confidence. In the world nowadays, nobody truly cares about showing others the solution in this subject matter. How fortunate I am to have definitely found a real wonderful web-site as this. It truly is people like you who really make a real difference nowadays through the tips they share.
Hang in there!! We will say lots of prayers for Sir Elijah.
Sending our love and prayers your way! Hugs to you all xoxo
use honey treatment and consume omega 3 to prevent hair loss
they both work best for me and more less risk than chemical products
