Keira is doing great today. This is definitely not the little girl we took to the ER on Friday. Her fever lasted 24 hours almost exactly. She never had any other symptoms, just the fever and being fussy and tired. It took us most of the weekend to recover from two nights of lost sleep, but tonight we are looking no worse for the wear and Keira is looking great!
We hadn't realized how much hair Keira had really lost because it had been happening so slowly. No big chunks falling out that we would find in her bed, no clumps coming out in her hands... Nothing. We were going back through the photos that we took when she was first diagnosed and it hit us, she's pretty much bald now. Above you can see her before and after shots. Luckily she has plenty of hats to keep her little head from getting sunburned in the hot Texas sun!
We spoke with her oncologist on Friday since we were in the ER getting evaluated. He gave us an update on the plan. He said that as long as she isn't sick, we could get her follow up scan as early as Friday (July 27th). That sounds great to us. The waiting time is difficult, so the less time we have left, the more we like it! We will let you know more as we do. Thank you for your continued prayers and support!
Jason, Erin and Keira Grace

I think it is awesome that you shaved your head! Chad was going to do the same thing if Charli lost any more - it seems to be fuzzing back up now.
What a great statement it makes!
