A Hairy Ordeal

Dad started to loose his hair on Christmas, what a gift! Nick talked to dad the day after and he seemed ready to shave his head. We decided to go to the hospital all shaven ourselves to show our love and support. These are some of the fun pics from our shaving party.

After with our loving spouses. Thanks!

We shaved our heads at Jenny's house then headed to the hospital to help dad with his.

These are some of Dad's reactions to our naked heads. Surprise, surprise, and surprise!

These are the baldies that came to the hospital to surprise Dad.

Dad was showing us just how easy it was to pull clumps of hair from his head with little effort. I tried it, but it was a little more effort than I wanted to put forth. I felt like I was hurting him. The hair came right from the roots and after shaving it you could tell where he had pulled out his hair.

Time for a haircut! Dad was o.k. with Nick shaving his head knowing it was all going to fall out anyway. Hopefully Dad doesn't feel so alone having a bald head. There are quite a few of us that are feeling his pain...if you know what I mean. I know for a fact we will think of him very often!

I'll tell you one thing, you never know how drafty places can be until you have a bald head. I think it is a heaven sent barometer. Nick used the electric clippers first to get the majority of his hair, then he used dad's electric razor. He had to be extremely careful with Dad's scalp. Any cut could be a major ordeal with Dad's blood being so thin and having no platelets.

Travis, Katie, Christian, and Braxton shaved their heads too. I'm not sure who is going to need the most moral support during this... Dad... or the other shaven heads! ;-]

We are so grateful to the spouses that are supportive!

We all love you so much we had to use different means to try and express ourselves.

As Jenny put it so sweetly... We love you Daddy Warbucks!
