Day 6

Today Emily woke up to see the Kim and Shelly Struthers! She thought that was so cool to wake up to visitors! They were the first to see Emilys "new do" and they loved it!

Emily was sure that no one would know who she was without her hair; but sure enough everyone still knew she was Emily! They all told her how beautiful she is.

Mrs. Moore, Emilys 1st grade teacher at Sego Lily came to visit and bring some school stuff to work on. Emily was very nervous about meeting her but quickly warmed up and became very excited with all the things she brought. She even got get well cards from her new class! 1st grade is going to be lots of fun!

Emily kept telling me today how "scared" she is. All of this is a lot for her to take in. So many changes! I kept hugging her and tried to tell her everything would work out. The unknown is scary for us all at times. I think it is just going to take time to get used to and for her to see that everyone still loves her for who she is and not for what she looks like. I keep praying that I will know what things to do and say that will comfort her the most.

Emily is really doing well! She has no mouth sores which is a miracle, and her rash is almost gone. Even the itching has calmed down a bit. Headaches come about once a day but that's it! We feel very blessed!
