Justin finished his last treatment this morning. He got a certificate of completion that was signed by all the nurses and radiologists that worked with him. They were very encouraging and told him how much they would miss him. A nurse talked to us about what to expect in the future and checked us out.
We packed up our things, said good bye to all of our new friends, checked out of Hope Lodge, and hit the road. It is amazing how fast 6 weeks flew by. A quick stop at Wendy's for lunch and we were on our way home for the final time for now.
Justin has been talking of cutting his hair off. The radiation makes patches of bald areas that don't look normal. So this evening, Jason took Justin outside on the porch and gave him a haircut. They did it out in the cold so there wouldn't be hair everywhere where the baby crawls. We didn't know what to expect, since he has never had no hair before. But we all just LOVE it. He has had many compliments from people all over the place.
Radiation does not give a stylish haircut.
You can't really trim this to make it look normal...
Hey, barber....you're getting it a little close!
Oh, yeah. Quite a different look, wouldn't you say?
