Rachel has hair! :)

Temodar & Etoposide, the chemo drugs Rach is taking, do not cause hair loss with the amount of doses she's receiving. Rachel's hair has been growing for the past 2 months and she has a full head of it! It's coming in very light so it's been hard to catch on camera. She has not stayed in the hospital since getting the feeding tube. She has also has gained over 3lbs. and has a lot more energy!! We have an MRI scheduled on the 10th to see if anything has changed. We're really hoping that these drugs work because she's been doing so well on them so please pray for that.

  1. Hooray for Rachel and Hair!!
    We are so glad your hair is coming back. We will be praying for you to get great news with your MRI. Who knows maybe by the wedding you will have hair like baby Callie. It is great to see you smiling and playing more now that you are getting better vitamins through your feeding tube.
    Love ya,
