four letter word is back

On Friday, as we were having dinner and planning on going to a movie for Dehlia's birthday, it was discovered that her brother Joe had lice. The kids had been interacting with one another, wrestling around, sharing hats...then nits and live lice were found on Dehlia's head so plans changed and we spent the evening shaving boys' heads and Dehlia had her head closely inspected by her Mom.

On Saturday, we got home to River Falls, treated both Katie and myself with Lice MD (I inspected our hair and didn't find anything), but I have notoriously bad eyesight for lice/nits. On Saturday evening, as we were celebrating Thanksgiving with the Blomgren family, Katie found two live lice on Osten's head--he had already had a really short haircut so we didn't think the lice could survive/hide but today when we got home, he got an all the way shave.

He's pretty sensitive and worried about going to school tomorrow, but we're realizing he has a beautifully shaped head like his brothers' so will look great in the future as a bald adult.
