Battle of the Sutures
Written by: Bonnie on Wednesday, May 14th, 2008 at 10:41 AM
This stinks!
I knew the tissue expander process was going to be hard to go through, but I just hate that Kirk and I have to make Ella so mad when we mess with her head… of course we know it is for her own good, but her tears and screams tell us that she doesn’t buy that.
We’ve decided that she needs another – even more fashionable (ha!) – haircut tonight. The sutures on her forehead are oozing some lovely goo. We think (hope) that it’s part of the original infection and that we’re still getting her cleaned out, but it’s getting all matted in with her hair every time she takes a nap or goes to bed. So tonight the clippers come out again and she looses even more hair so that we can keep her healthy.
Her smiles still warm our hearts, but the tears are killing us! Especially daddy as he is the bad guy more often than I am, and he’s not home all day to see the smiles and hear her belly laugh when dolly does something funny.
Maybe if we all shaved part of our heads I’d feel better.
hmmm… probably not.

Ella, we love you very much! You are such a trooper and soon this will all be over. And hey, Troy is losing his hair and you still look much better than he does. Lol. Love Sheryl and Olivia.Ok, I see my wife is the consumate comedian, probably accurate, but still the consumate comedian. Ella, love ya and yep you would still look better than me with or without hair. Tell mommy and daddy we love them too. Troy

While I think it would make us all laugh, I’m afraid it would be a temporary fix with long term repercussions! Guess we should all keep as much hair as we can! smiles!
