Short and Sweet

I'm going to keep this update short and sweet - like my new haircut :)

First, a shout out to my girls who are wearing pink hair extentions in my honor. Ladies, you are great friends.

I've realized I haven't had a major hair change in years. Years is a long time for someone who used to change her hair at least once every other month.

I've had black hair, red hair, short hair, long hair, a faux-hawk, a Jessica Simpson wig extension and more. What I realized is that once Jude started having health problems, I suddenly stopped changing my hair. I had enough going on and needed some things to stay the same.

Jude gets hair cuts rarely. Like a lot of little boys, he hates them. We usually only get his hair cut prior to family photos or EEGs.

If you aren't familiar with an EEG, the technician glues 24 "leads" onto his head and the glue is very hard to get out. Jude got a haircut and an EEG last week. He was very brave. We don't have his results, but we are hoping his EEG was stable and we can try to wean him off his seizure medicine this Winter. His neurologist said from the beginning that every kid deserves a chance to be both seizure free and med free.

We are back in Iowa City tonight. We report for my surgery at 5:30 am. It should start around 7:00 and be about 6 hours. Chris is going use my Facebook page for any updates throughout the day.

I'm glad for a lot of reasons to have short hair:
1) It will be easy to maintain since I can't shower for several weeks. I have promised Chris I will bathe though :)

2) I am lucky. I get to keep my hair. This surgery means no radiation or chemo. Hopefully ever.

3) After I got this cut, Lucy said, "You look like Justin Beiber!"

 You be the judge.

My cinquain poem of the day:


Thankful 
Family, Friends 
Receiving so much 
Humbled to feel loved 
You

Thinking of you for your procedure. You're much cuter than Justin Bieber, too. Please let us know if there's anything you need to be picked up, dropped off, brought in, dumped, raked, mowed, ...but maybe not painted.
