Hair Be Gone!

The picture posted above says it all! The hair is gone. Last Tuesday night it started falling out effortlessly....and each day more and more fell out. It was really heart breaking to watch. Thursday Raylee was with grandma Patty and she had a little pony tail on top and the darn thing fell out in grandma's hands! Crazy thing is when Raylee started Chemo grandma had a dream that was going to happen--sure enough it did! By late Thursday afternoon, Raylee had lost almost all her hair. Jerry took a Barbie doll and together they shaved the doll's head and he asked her if the Barbie was still pretty and she said 'yes.' He told her she would still be pretty too. She was scared of the clippers but he showed her it wouldn't hurt and he shaved his head. She still didn't want a hair cut.

Later he asked her if she was ready and she said 'okay.' So he hurried and shaved her head since she finally agreed. I wasn't home at this time and felt bad because I really wanted to be part if this.....but it worked out...I probably would've made it harder for her in some way. She is and always has been a daddy's girl. I am glad Jerry was able to share this moment with Raylee. After her head was shaved she was so happy--the picture posted above shows the biggest smile--completely priceless as it is, it is super super adorable! After her hair was shaved she seemed to have a new burst of energy and has been happy ever since. She calls it her 'baby hair cut' and is enjoying her daddy, sister, grandma, and grandpa rubbing her head and telling her how cute she is. We are going to have so much fun with hats, scarfs, and head bands!

Raylee now fits in well with her dad and grandpa :) Her cousin in Ferron came to visit and we shaved his head also. We were told several young men at church shaved their heads too. In Tooele county Raylee has a cousin whose All-star Baseball team all shaved their heads for Raylee. Thank you guys- you are all amazing!
