Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow



After shedding larger and larger clumps of hair for the past week Cheryl decided to go ahead and have me cut her hair very short. We started with the scissors and progressed to the clippers with a 1/2 shield. I did one more pass with the 3/8 shield and we called it quits so she could get showered up.

This is one of her hats that she received today from Hats Off to Chemo. She already has a nice scarf that she and Michelle ordered during her last visit.

After we finished taking care of Cheryl's new haircut, I buzzed my head so we will match. I trimmed up my beard last week so all I have left is a goatee.

This has been a really good week overall for Cheryl. On her Coumadin check today, the levels were a bit high again so she will have to go off the pills for a few days and then be retested. I was really careful trimming her hair since I didn't want to nick her scalp with the scissors or the clippers.

We are planning to do her drains again tomorrow night so she will be fully recovered for Friday's chemo. Continue to pray that both will go well for her.

    Cheryl,
    I must say you have gotten the knack down for the scarfs looking good!

    The hat looks good! :-) I was wondering if you were going to post a picture. We can't wait to see you in a few days!

    My dear Cheryl, I am so glad to see a picture of you. You look really good! I am surprised to see that your eyebrows aren't affected. And, I am always touched by Jud's tender comments about you and your care. You are one blessed woman!

    So thankful that you have had a good week. Our God is faithful. I continue to pray for you daily and I'm trusting Jesus to heal your body.

    I love you.

    I'm so glad to see such good progress. I find that I have a smile on my face after reading about all that's going on and how beautifully you all are showing the grace of our Lord through this trial. I'm looking forward to the Lord using the chemo and kicking this cancer some more this Friday while I'm praying for you daily, as I know many other are also. :-)

    I love the scarf - good look! Also surprised about the eyelashes and brows. I was talking with a friend and she has to draw her brows on! Glad the week has been good and you are able to get a few things done. Put your worries in the Lord's hands - we are all praying. Special intentions on Friday. ~ Corinne and George
