New Day, New 'Do

Well, we decided to take the day off from blogging yesterday. (Have to admit, some days there just isn't much left by the end to jot a few lines down. But, you have been so faithful in partnering with us, that we want to keep you informed.) Yesterday was a good day though. Eden got herself a "new 'do". We decided to go chic and short in anticipation (this suggestion came from nurse Ashley on the floor). The cutting of her curly red hair has been difficult . . . I think because it is a visual reminder that she is sick. She has begun to lose a lot of hair; but, because of the thickness, you would be unable to tell unless you notice the piles of hair around the house (I just can't throw it away). Eden's new 'do is still long enough for her to pick out a bow to style with, which, as you know, these choices carry the utmost importance in a toddler's world. It is nice that she has accessories, we can only imagine what the outfits she will pick out will look like :) So, the haircut turned out to be a positive experience and Eden proudly informs us "no pokes" along with "I got haircut".
Our cutie has only gained a pound(ish); however, her looks have changed. Her cheeks and tummy are much rounder due to the meds and she will likely lose all her curls, eyelashes and eyebrows. Please pray that her soft red curls return after treatment.

Tonight's dinner (yup - food again) was "ghetti"- thank goodness for the fundraiser carryout plates. We usually enjoy going to these events; but, the new "germ-free" approach has us inside, for at least the winter. We cannot say we mind too much. Eden is such a delight.

Please pray for our big day on Friday.
