First and foremost, YES, I am ok! Yet I admit, it was a little hard on me this morning when I got her out of bed.
Bella continued to loose hair after her hair cut, I was constantly having to change her sheets and the hair was still getting in her food and eyes. So Saturday evening, Dave and I both decided it was time for it all to go. Believe it or not, I used a personal hair clipper to remove it, that's how little their was. The majority of her remaining hair outlined her face and it just made her look sickly and she's NOT! A funny little side note on these photos, Bella loves to look at the digital camera after we take photos. When we ask her "who is this" pointing to her, she always say's "Baba" (Bella), today we asked her and she looked at it for a second and then said "Baby". She didn't even know it was herself.
We had a beautiful weekend, clear blue sunny skies and high 50's low sixties....I do believe Spring has sprung.
Dana, It was a complete privilege to talk with you again today. Your wisdom and words encourage me and strengthen my spirit. You are truly a gift to all who know you.
Thanks everyone for checking in, Bella only has 3 more intense chemo treatments left, praising God for his continued blessings in His Word.

Mainly, I love that Bella was blessed with GREAT ears, and I am probably the ONLY person that will say that and YOU know why!!! In the pics, it looks like with the removal of Bella's hair, her eyes GREW!!! She's so healthy, it looks bizaare that she's lost her hair!!! I love you, my friend!
Wow! Have I been away from blogland that long? Bella is beautiful with or with out that hair. She really has a amazing smile.
Sending many prayers~
She looks so healthy! What a sweet, beautiful girl! She has such a perfect head... Ana's is shaped all funny, so it is good that she has hair to cover it! :-)
What a joy it will be to finish these last three rounds! We are praying for you...
With love dear friend, Jenifer
Someone once told me that to tell if a person was truly beautiful is to picture them without hair. Bella is truly beautiful. Her hair will grow back. Just think how much cooler she'll be this summer! Her eyes really stand out. Huge hugs to you!
Bella is just as beautiful with no hair as she is with none!!! My little Olivia NEVER forgets Bella in her prayers each night and she has learned to say them on her own!! My other kiddos and me continue our prayers for Bella!! God is so wonderful and He will keep Bella safe!! HUGS!
I think that the third picture is definitely one of the most beautiful i have EVER seen. She just glows! Bella is simply gorgeous!
I just caught up on all your latest posts... I am once again just amazed at your strength! God is so faithful!
Bella has such a beautiful head!! I love her pink and brown hat with her pink outfit! She looks absolutely stunning!!
We still pray for Bella constantly! My boys ask about her all the time!! You are always in my thoughts and prayers too, Susie! Big hugs to you!!
Susie,
It is a priviledge to talk with you as well. Your family is such a blessing to me. I'm so glad that God has brought us paths together.
Remember, Bella's hair will come back in more beautiful and lushious than it was before. But for now we'll just enjoy having "Baby" Bella around for a little while longer! She's still just a beautiful as ever!
Blessings,
Dana

I'm sooo glad that you posted the pics of the hats, they are darling, but I'm even more glad that you posted her shiny perfect little bald head. I love seeing all the photos of beautiful Bella and your strength continues to amaze me. XOXO -Jaimee
I just wanted to let you know that your sweet little girl and family are in my heart and prayers.

Isaiah 40:31 has been swirling around in my head all week every time I think about you. You are a living, breathing example of that to me.
I love her pink and brown hat{smile}.
I am continuing to pray for beautiful Bella and your entire family!!
She is more than beautiful!!!

She looks just as beautiful with hair or w/out. The first thing that drew me to her picture were those big beautiful brown eyes.Keeping Bella and your family in our prayers.
She's absolutely beautiful, and I love her precious smile. We're keeping you in prayer!
Bella is beautiful!! I want to reach through my computer and love on her cuteness. Those hats are precious!
You are an amazing mother, Susie, and seeing you rejoice and embrace everything is just an inspiration to us all. God is so good!
Sending lots of love and prayers your way. XOXO
Remember the saying "Bald is Beautiful"..This gift from God will "Bloom" into a beautiful person...I love all the hats...I bet you can't decide which one to put on her every morning!! Hugs to you and your family..Cec & Barb Harkema
she's gorgous and if she was going to loose it waiting until it warmed up worked out better for her little head to stay warm. Still just so happy that it has all gone so well and she has done so amazing with all that her body has had to go thru.
I can't believe it happened that fast! Wow! She is still beautiful as ever and does look like a baby doll! Bella girl you will look beautiful no matter what! Now you get to wear all those pretty hats and head bands. Just to let you know Susie, in 2 more months we are cutting Sara Ava's hair for Locks of Love. We have been growing it for a year now.
hair or no hair bella is just a DOLL!!! praying for you guys!!!
