My dear prayer heroes,

Mom washed hair for Lydia tonight.

With four daughters, Mom washed our kids’ hair probably several thousands times. But this time was extremely difficult. Lydia lost so much hair in this bathing. Mom was crying in her heart badly while bathing her. Trying not shown to Lydia her emotion and to comfort Lydia, Mom said to Lydia, "You have lost a lot of hair."

"That is OK, let it fall. It’s kind of annoying these days." Lydia answered.

"Do you want to shave it?" Mom asked.

"No, I want it to fall by itself.” Lydia said.

The first sight I saw Lydia out of bathtub, tore my heart apart. My dear little daughter was not feeling good at the moment (headache, sore throat, and stomachache). Mom and I both had a lot of tears flowing inward. We could not let it come out. We tried to cheer up Lydia, talked to her and brought her icy smoothie to bathroom while she combed her hair.

Thank the Lord, soon we felt much better.

I want to praise the Lord, Lydia’s pain medicine dose has cut down a lot this weekend. The constipation and itchiness were no longer big problem for her. Headache, sore throat, and stomachache are three major discomforts for her now.

Thank you for your prayers. Thank the Lord and Praise the Lord for having you with us.

In Him,

Simon
