Yes, believe it, the hair really is growing back! If you look at her with the light you can see a soft glow of fuzz just above her skin. I think her hair follicles are a bit excited after such a long period of induced coma! There are tiny bumps all over Shayla's head now where I think those follicles are waking up and saying, "hey, there's something ready to sprout here." Anyway, it is fun to see. She has 'teeny-tiny' eyelashes and her brows are growning darker and longer.
Today she had a fitting for her 'permanent' obterator base form. It is shiny and silver. Now the dentist will ship it off to the obterator-makers and they will put the acrylic over it and attach 2 teeth where the two permanent molars were pulled as part of her tumor removal surgery. By Christmas she should have her two BACK teeth again.
Oh, one last thing, Shayla got to meet Glenn Beck today, too. We shook his hand and he signed his book for us (and a gazillion other people in one hour's time!) So now she can send him a signed copy of the calendar and they can both can say they know someone famous. :-)
p.s. I am told the calendars come out next week!
