I think that is the OCD where they actually "eat" the hair once they've pulled it. It's so sad! However, thankfully she didn't have it. Scary stuff!<br /><br />AngAngie Seamanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10324553577844192100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31472779.post-86079603949522059922009-07-24T13:57:34.739-04:002009-07-24T13:57:34.739-04:00She's such a pretty little girl.

We are blessed to be a blessing to others. The blessings you and your family receive through Kenidi touched my heart in your post today. I ijmediately forwarded it to all of my children, but especially for my oldest daughter who just had their third child -- a little girl, Ailey Katherine, after two rambunctious little boys Sam and Eli. The oldest, Sam, has sensory issues like one of your posters above mentioned with her son. Sam is very bright and intelligent. he even told his parents that they were having a baby sister before they found out from the sonogram that the baby was as girl. Then he gave her the name "Ailey" which my daughter and son-in-law had never heard before, but was quite significant for my daughter as she is a dancer (former Rockette) and has always greatly loved and admired the Alvin Ailey Dance troup in NYC. So Sam can be quite wonderful and amazing, but can also be a very frustrating and challenging many days. Some days my daughter is at her wits end with Sam's issues. And because her husband works long hours as an attorney and at times has to travel, she is often left alone with the children for long periods. Even with no major issues, motherhood can be a challenge that never ends. My daughter emailed me back to tell me that she really needed to read your blog post today. So thank you for sharing your struggles and your triumphs. And what you said is so true. God never wastes our pain. He walks with us through it and when we don't have the strength to go on, he carries us safely to the other side of the pain of our problems. <br /><br />Blessings,<br /><br />Victoria in Texaschanteusevcahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09540007234770700092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31472779.post-1005536168636797832009-07-24T02:05:17.357-04:002009-07-24T02:05:17.357-04:00Angie,

I really needed this today. <br /><br />I also have a child with special needs...Sensory Integration Disorder (basically sensory overload). And like you, we've come a L-O-N-G way. Many times people thought Connor had autisim. But with God's help he's improved 110%!! <br /><br />Since it is summer, we have chosen not to give him all of his meds. And his chattering can drive me up a wall somedays!! <br /><br />This was a gentle reminder of where we have come from. And like you, I need to just be thankful that the child can communicate!<br /><br />Thank you, Angie. Hope you, Kinidi, and the rest of the family enjoy the rest of your vacation!!<br /><br />Looking forward to lesson 4 tomorrow!!Amanda Rooneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15159948940572150763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31472779.post-51008198438265257742009-07-22T16:53:31.246-04:002009-07-22T16:53:31.246-04:00I remember those days!!!

I remember those...Well this just wrecked my makeup. I remember those days, I never could figure out how it didn't hurt her to pull that hair out by the roots like that, I guess the hypotonia, and the low muscle tone thing kept her from feeling the pain like most people. I remember even Riley Childrens Hospital trying to make an apperatis for her to bite down on when she would get ready to pull her hair. That didn't last long. One thing I do remember is that you always had patience with her, no matter what, and she was always beautiful, and always will be. I believe, as do you, that God has wonderful plans for her. I also believe that God could not have picked any better parents and big brother, than you guys. Perfect, all around!

It would be horribly knotted, no matted, in the morning. We would have to sit there for an hour un tangling it. No matter what we did she got to her hair and tangled it up every night. Finally at our wits end I just ignored it and acted like it was no big deal and low and behold in 2 days she stopped doing it. She has SUPER thick and lusious hair now and I swear, the twisting and damage she did before made it grow in thicker and fuller, LOL. <br />This "tactic" still works like a charm on my daughter. :)Sheryl Watkinsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31472779.post-21804146453147637762009-07-22T13:04:18.449-04:002009-07-22T13:04:18.449-04:00Kenidi is so beautiful in ALL of those pictures :)...Kenidi is so beautiful in ALL of those pictures :) That advice you got was wonderful; I am so glad it worked for you!

I had no hair until I was over 2, and then, it was fine a wispy. Someone told my mom to CUT it, which she did. As you know, now, 50-SOMETHING years later, I have a full, thick head of hair. OK, I don't really know what COLOR it really is, but it's hair!

My sister and neice both have epilepsy; my sister also endured hair related side effects from the depakote as a child. She lost a lot of it from things as simple as brushing and washing; when it grew back it was thicker and cork-screw curly! Prior to, she had thin, pin-straight hair! One of the things I love most about your blog is your honesty and your ability to be so appreciate of everything in life. It's so easy to overlook the "little things" but you have an ability to make me stop and realize that all of those little things are really so much more than they seem. Here is to Kenidi accomplishing the word "yes" and to all of the other blessings that God has bestowed upon us. Thank you, Angie, for sharing. <br /><br />Lisa in SCAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31472779.post-78426670280104963482009-07-22T10:33:59.289-04:002009-07-22T10:33:59.289-04:00Angie,

I can't imagine what you deal with in the general public, because to be quite honest, most people are just ignorant! :) Kenidi (which our almost 6 year old is Kennedy) looks beautiful and perfect, they just don't see her inner imperfections. Although to God she has none. I pray and have faith that one day she will be a mother, wife, whatever she wants to be and I believe she can acheive that through Jesus' hand and you and Brent as parents. And of course with a big brother like Brennan, how can a girl go wrong??? You making the comment about her hair, our Kennedy was bald for over 2 years of her life. She just never grew hair, so I can't compare it to what you have been through, but since she had so little hair, I never wanted to cut it. It was thin, stringy, just baby like. We finally cut it into a stacked bob around 4 years old and even though it's still pretty stringy and fine, it's definately getting thicker and looking better. I dont know what it is, but I guess just starting over with new hair helps! I keep hoping my Kennedy can get hair just close to you Kenidi!! Good work sister! Your blog is such an inspiration to me. Oh and an escape because I would love to be down there where you are now instead of HOT MUGGY OKLAHOMA!Triple J's Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18231995018203842749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31472779.post-20062783818327852212009-07-22T10:05:59.962-04:002009-07-22T10:05:59.962-04:00Angie,
