I found out last night that Shay has a skin disease she will have to deal with for the rest of her life. The poor thing has a condition where her hair falls out. Erika and Jeremy are still researching it but as of right now the doctor said it can't be treated and no one knows how much hair she will lose. Right now she has a spot on top of her head the size of a half dollar that is completely bald. The doctor said it could be just this one spot she has to deal with or it could spread to different spots on her head. the worst case would be total hair loss. She tried to hide it from kids at school but it's hard. Yesterday she wore her sunglasses on her head like a headband to cover it up. My sister's worried that the kids at school aren't going to understand and will make fun of her. Shay's a tough cookie but she's upset enough already.

I'm so sorry to hear that. What a terrible thing for a little young lady to go through. I'll keep her in my thoughts.
