About Me:
Hi. My name is Melanie and I have 3 beautiful children - Emma 5, Hailey 4, and Austin 1 (next week he turns 1). Emma was diagnosed with Alopecia Areata 4 days ago and we are still in shock. I'm doing everything I can to help her and ensure she stays the happy, wonderful little girl we have. Hoping to find support here :)

Hi Melanie,
Sometimes AA is harder for the parent than for the child!
How is Emma doing?

I wanted to welcome to Alopecia World. I can honestly say that we are a great community here and I hope you enjoy the time you spend with us.

I don't know if you are aware but there is a "Parents of children with Alopecia" group you may want to participate in. You can add your name to the group by going to the group tab above.

Welcome to the site, Melanie. My daughter, Lynnea, has had alopecia since 8 months of age, and it hasn't hindered her at all.
That's not to say that it hasn't hindered me at times. I still remember the shock that you're feeling. But kids have this wonderful resiliency, and a gift of unbelievable acceptance if we choose to foster that.

The other day she was pretending to style my hair, and was having a hoot of a time with it, and I asked her if she'd like hair or if she wants to stay bald, and she said with certainty "Bald." I asked her why, and she laughed at me and said "'Cause I has no hair! You suts a silly girl, Mom". My older daughter, Isley, says that she doesn't know how she'd feel about Lynnea's hair if it decides to grow. That beautiful, baby soft skin has become such a part of her persona. Plus, she has the most enviable collection of funky hats....

I hope that we'll get to know each other :)
