All in a day

Yesterday started with braces off! Normally this is a much more exciting happening, but the braces are just 'on hold' until chemo is done. Still, we're grateful to have them off and help make Elizabeth as comfortable as possible during treatment. We grabbed some of Elizabeth's favorite foods and then headed out to visit with Autumn, our horse. Autumn was more than happy to stand by Elizabeth and get her face brushed and eat treats for as long as she could. We had a little rest at home and then back to ortho for a retainer fit. We enjoyed some little visits from neighbors and pizza brought by a friend. In the evening (very late) Elizabeth decided it was time to cut her hair. She had an appointment with a friend to cut it Saturday, but it was coming out more quickly than we had anticipated. We already had plans to send 10in of her own hair for a halo wig...soooo... around midnight, we cut it off. It was so impulsive that we laughed all the way through it. I didn't do the best job on the hair, but we got all the 10in pony tails we needed and today our hair dresser friend cleaned it up and she's got a very cute, short little bob. Natalie was eager to contribute her hair to the halo wig and their hair color is pretty similar, so she cut 10in off hers today and we sent all the hair in right away. (Looking forward to the wig of my girl's hair!) The days feel  busy and we're constantly grateful for all the love and support from all of you❤
