One of the side effects we were told Kellee would have because of the radiation treatment would be hair loss at the area being treated, which in Kellee’s case means he will lose the hair on his head. Because we have known this for a while we have been on the look-out for hats to add to the one hat he has been wearing. (See post titled, “What a Combo (Night)” for photos of Kellee with his hat.) Unfortunately for Kellee he has the curse of the big head and finding hats that fit is often a problem. If the size on a hat does not say XL, it will be too small. One size fits all hats do not work either! Kellee comes by the big head naturally though, he is very smart and his daddy has a rather large cranium as well! Auntie Tami brought him some hats and a few do-rags on the day of the biopsy. When the Three Amigos (Heidi, Tami, Faithe) were in Florida, they looked for a hat there but had a tough time finding XL sized hats. Faithe did bring one hat back, it was a cool hat that Kellee liked, but it was still a bit small. I spent some time on it the other night and altered it some, hopefully it will work. We also ordered a few hats and they just came and he now has quite a few choices.
To date, Kellee has not lost his head of hair…yet. We did butch a lot of his hair off early on when we first started this journey. At that time there were some of his friends who cut their hair short as well as a show of support. When the hair actually does fall out there has been talk of possibly some other guys joining Kellee with the same hair style. Kellee has told his brothers and myself that he really does not expect us to cut our hair. However, I am still thinking about it. Here is where I’d like the input of those who read this blog, please participate by taking the attached poll. I will take the poll results into consideration when deciding to buzz my head when Kellee loses his hair.
