I had a nice surprise Tuesday morning. I discovered that my hair is falling out. Although it happens in 98% of patients who take the drug I took, I had hoped that I was weird enough that it might not happen to me. After all, my allergic reaction and my severe blood count drop were both considered rare. So why couldn't I be one of the rare ones whose hair didn't go? Oh well, I suppose it's only gonna be half bad since, well you know where I'm going if you've seen me in the last ten years. I'm hoping to wait until next week to buzz it off, if it doesn't get too crazy. I have my barber lined up (YES, I HAVE A BARBER) to do it free. The way I see it, she has been charging me too much anyway. And they say that it is only temporary and may come back different than it was before. Maybe I'll have a full head of green or red hair when and if it returns.
I am so blessed to have such a great wife. The last three weeks (let alone the last six years) have been so full of difficulties. Helen's brother passing away in the middle of everything that was happening with me was tough. She has been amazing through all of it. Last week while I was in the hospital, she refused to leave me and go anywhere because she didn't want to pick up something that might hurt me (like germs or viruses) and bring it back into my room. I have given her more "for worse" than I had planned to, but she has always put me before herself. I am blessed, far beyond what I deserve. God is Good!
As I write, there is a storm moving through the area. We are so fortunate to have shelter and safety. Even more, we are blessed to have a shelter and place of refuge through the storms of life we face. "He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say to the Lord, 'He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.' " (Psalm 91:1-2)
Love you all,
Kenny

Well that is great you are getting better! I've been praying for you ever since I heard that you were in the hospital,and Helen family and your loss of her brother.
Sincerely, Julie Hernandez
Helen...we all agree with Kenny you are VERY special and one in a million and we are honored to be in the same family with you. You amaze me with your strength, courage, and germ fighting skills. The next bottle of Germex is on me. Look out don't let Marvel Comics steal my idea for the next female super hero.
Kenny...you know what they say bald is beautiful, and you are certainly that inside and out. Your hair can fall out but it can never change the man you are. To us you are the same spectacular, wonderful, compassionate, strong, loving man that we adore. Sorry to get sappy but someone has to say it. We love you guy's so much.
Look to the LORD and his strength;seek his face always.
1 Chronicles 16:11
