January 16th, 2014 - Day 16

Day 16

  Today was a little rough to say the least :-/ I woke up late so we had to rush BIG TIME. No hot rag and no minoxidil treatment. I felt bad about it but at the end of the day it is what it is. When you got off the bus I found out she was not sitting down on the bus ( A BIG NO NO) so I didn't buy her a snack, and she had a total meltdown (**stress**). When she got home I put her on ABCmouse.com (which is great by the way), and then we ate dinner:

Dinner

• Seared Porkchops (seasoned with Italian seasoning, curry and tumeric)
• White Rice ( boiled in olive oil)
• Green Beans ( seasoned with olive oil, black pepper and sea salt)
• They also had ice cream for dessert (Neapolitan). 

     I am continuing with our usual routine during bath time:

• Initial hot rag application to scalp
• Apply ACV (apple cider vinegar - diluted) with pure aloe vera juice to entire scalp 
• Apply hot rag 3 more times 
• Apply minoxidil to entire scalp and eyebrows. 

        Lately it's been a little more difficult to keep up her regimen since school has started. She eats breakfast and lunch at school - I have not given up on packing her lunches, but I am still gathering a few more ideas on what to make. It's a little different packing a lunch without a sandwhich - I'm so accustomed to always using bread and now I have to restructure how I think about what a lunch should consist of. However, I am going to be steadfast in keep up our routine because her hair has stopped shedding and I see fuzz and growth in places that I did a few weeks ago :-)
