Second Hair Cut!!!

 Alopecia means hair loss. Most BMT patients lose some or all of their hair usually in the week after preparative regimen ends. To everybody's surprise, Victoria's hair didn't fall out until last Saturday(Day +10). I've been truly thankful that she stayed so strong and didn't seem to be affected by the chemo.  Yet at the same time, I was getting concerned and wondered if all the chemo/radiation she got was working properly.  Then finally, her hair started to fall out in patches.  I felt so relieved rather than sad or emotional. What selfish mother am I??  It's okay.  It's just hair and it will grow back telling Victoria and myself.  IT IS REALLY OKAY.  Victoria, you are beautiful with or without your hair.

 I noticed that her hair started falling out while taking a bath last Saturday.

 This is her bed this morning.

 and her back of the head.

 

 

We decided to shave her hair again. 

This gave Victoria a sense of control by removing her hair on her terms and she did have much fun out of this dreaded emotional event.

 Lint roller was perfect toy to play with hair loss and all the nurses were so impressed.

Yes, everything could be a toy and fun at the hospital. Viki, you are so creative!!

그동안 장농에서 썩고 있는 울신랑 미용사 라이센스가 이렇게 빛을 발하는구나, ㅎㅎㅎ

Today's Verse - Malachi 4:2
내 이름을 경외하는 너희에게는 공의로운 해가 떠올라서 치료하는 광선을 비추리니 너희가 나가서 외양간에서 나온 송아지같이 뛰리라. (말라기 4:2)

Day+ 날짜가 두자리에 접에 들면서 더 조급해지는 나와는 반대로 너무도 의연하고 의젓한 승리를 보면서 또 하루를 더 견딜수가 있었다. 문득, 하나님께서는 이 모든걸 다 대비하셔서 우리 승리에게 예쁜얼굴과 삭발도 소화해낼수 있는 이쁜 두상을 주셨는데, 그리고 지금 이 시간에도 우리 승리의 완치를 위하여 일하시고 계실텐데, 나의 이 조급함과 초조함이 모두 부질없다는 생각이 들었다. 오늘 주시는 말씀처럼 오늘밤 우리 병실에 치료의 광선이 비출것이다. 내일 기적이 일어날지도!!!
