I'm Losing my Hair!

I have what is called Alopecia Areata (localised hair loss). My hair has been falling out in select spots now for almost a half a year. I recently decided to shave my head because it was starting to look pretty goofy. My friends in Stony Rapids decided to go along with it. All seven of us shaved our heads right down with razor blades. (The patches were shaved the next day) We had a good time and took lots of pictures.

The doctors have told me it should grow back within a few months. If not, my whole body might go bald! wow. We will see what happens. It has been about a month, and there is only one small patch on the top of my head growing out. I am considering growing this to it's full potential and creating a swirling comb-over to cover my cold head.

Hi everyone. I figured this would be a good way for us to keep in touch with family and friends. I will try to keep it updated.

As many of you know, I am currently working 3 weeks up north followed by one week at home in Saskatoon. Helen is into her fifth month of pregnancy. She is due in late March. I wish I could be home more, but this should materialize within the next couple of months.

I will try to update the family pictures link on the right-hand side of this page to show what we have been keeping busy with. Hope to talk to you all soon.
