"chocolate pudding". She knew I was joking but has since always referred
to it as "chocolate blood".
She was home this morning from a transfusion and she said to me this
morning, "Daddy, I got a whole bunch of chocolate blood last night".
She's so cute. The first thing she asks when she wakes up every morning,
"Dad-dee, I need to take me pee-uhl." (pill) She hates the nasty
tasting things but she knows they a make her "sick blood well". So every
morning, and before bed she reminds us to give her "pee-uhl" and several
other meds.
We wake up every morning now expecting her hair to have fallen out. Each
day we have it, we enjoy it, and take more pics of her. I cut off about
6 inches last week, so that it wouldn't be quite so traumatic on her.
It sounds kind of silly coming from a grown man, but giving her that
haircut myself (I cut all the boys hair, but only trim the girls and my
wife who go to the stylist for the real stuff)... giving Abby that
haircut was a very special to me, and was something I'll never forget
given the circumstances.

What a sweetheart! I just love that smile and her haircut - so big girlish. Hope the hair stays much longer than you expect.

That is such a precious moment that Daddy got to cut her hair! It will be a wonderful memory for you both! I found myself getting goosebumps and shedding a few tears. Mainly just because Daddy daughter moments do that to me! You guys are in our prayers.
