Failure
Today, January 3, 2017, I was informed my 6 year old daughter has an auto-immune disease. She has Alopica Areata. This is a disease that causes bald patches. It's something she will always have and there is no cure. It can come and go. There are things to help stimulate hair growth back but otherwise she can lose more or less and can like go Years and then bam it come back. She has beautiful long princess hair. It is down her back and thick. Today after the drs she asked to see a picture of one of her patches. She broke down crying then asked if all her princess hair is gonna fall out and is she ugly cuz she is missing hair. And why when she takes such good care of her hair. I was at a lost for words. I hadnt talked about since we left the drs and I didn't have the answers. I can't say no your hair will grow back in. No you won't lose more. So I hugged her and told her hair didn't matter. She was a beautiful princess because of her kind heart. She said she had a disease and disease's kill people like her GG so was she gonna die. I told her no. This disease is different and she could live a long happy life with it. So I feel like a failure. I know it is nothing I did. I know it is nobody's fault but I feel like one for not having the answers. Who knows. We will see in three months where we are. At least it isn't life threatening and she will be fine.
