In case you missed it on the social medias, the chemo finally caught up with Ava's hair and very quickly, strands of hair started coming out. It was all over everything and increasingly Ava became annoyed with the mess and soreness. So, she decided she was ready so SHE DID! Above - her cute haircut she got on Saturday.
On Saturday evening, we went to a Memphis 901 soccer game and had a blast, but before we went, we dyed our hair blue, including Brinley! Daddy Bo brought Little Bo here on Sunday, so now we are only missing Lily.
By Monday, her hair was really thin, even with the short haircut and Ava decided she was over it so, SHE DID - we went and had it shaved! A bald head is SO cute on her and really accents her beautiful face more than we expected. Shaving her hair was not nearly as emotional as cutting it short. Ava has embraced her new style with such bravery and confidence - we are all amazed.
In terms of appointments, we don't have anything until Thursday until labs and Ava will be admitted to the hospital for Round 2 of chemo. We understand that this round will effect her more intensely than Round 1. She has been full-throttle energy-wise and her appetite has been great.
Last thing: two of my best friends from high school made an insane road trip to come see us! We needed the laughter and love they brought with them.
