Day 32: Good News & Bad News

"Well, Braxton, I have some good news and some bad news for you today.

"The good news is that you're going to get a visit from your algebra teacher."

"Geez," Braxton replied, "What's the bad news?"

"The bad news is that your hair is starting to fall out."

"Yeah, I noticed that."

"We're gonna have to shave!"

******************************************************************

And so it came about that on Sunday, April 13th, Braxton was first visited by his algebra teacher in the afternoon. This was the first opportunity for Braxton since his cancer diagnosis to meet with an educator and do "normal" stuff like math. Although he would much rather be back in school, it was a good thing to be learning again.


And so it also came about that Braxton got his head shaved all the way down to the skin last night. We used my razor, which is not really meant for that sort of thing. So it took a long time, but eventually, with his Mother's loving touch, we shaved his head so it is smooth. This is an even bigger deal than the last head shave, but Braxton seems ok with it.

You're lookin' good, Braxton!!
