Hair Cut

The morning before Lilly's hair cut appointment, Jay shaved his head for Lilly. Lilly helped. It was good for her. It made her happy that she wasn't alone. What a great dad! He's going to keep it short as long as she is having her treatments. Lilly says they can grow their hair back together when we're all done. :)

We found this amazing place called Creative Wigs that would help us with Lilly's wig. She decided to donate her own hair to herself for her wig, along with a few other family and friends who donated their hair to Lilly as well. They will forever be angels to us. Lilly was nervous to cut her hair. I would be too. Our good friend in our ward Alesha came with us to get Lilly's hair cut. We were so glad she was there. She is an amazing lady and I'm grateful for her support.

Lilly did better than I expected. She said she didn't want to look in the mirror when they were cutting all her hair off. I don't blame her. Michelle, the cosmetologist, was really great with her. We ended up leaving some length on top to make things a little easier for Lilly. We had enough hair donations that we would still have enough for her wig. Her hair is being sent to China to be made into the wig. So, it will be a little while before we get it back.

Lilly is a brave girl. She amazes me more and more every day with her strength. She has a great relationship with her Heavenly Father and knows that when she prays to Him, He will help her. I am grateful that she has a testimony of prayer. It will help us get through this trial in our lives. One day at a time... One day at a time.

Lilly got to try on some wigs.

And then the cutting began...

Last piece.

There's a smile under that mask. Can you see it?? :)
