Fill #4...so thankful we are back to our fun Sunday fills!

This week has been super busy, Brayden got out of the hospital on Tuesday after 6 long days! So happy he is doing better and we got the clear to go home and not Chicago.  I emailed Dr. Bauer pictures of Brayden on Wed on his expander and he said to hold off on filling and see how it is in a few days.

Now Brayden is on Bictrim antibiotic 2 times a day until these expanders come out.  Brayden does get fussy at times taking it but overall he has been doing great taking his medicine.  His butt still isn't healed all the way and today I asked him at lunch time.  Brayden want to sit in your high chair and he said, no owie.  So he knows it still hurts him to sit.  I can't wait for that to heal

On Friday I sent Dr. Bauer updated pictures of Brayden's expanders and he said it's looking great and we could do another fill on Sunday! YAY! What great news that was to hear that, so happy we are back on track for our fills. 

Tonight Erin and Brent came over to help us with the fill. Nice having them over for support and especially since Brayden was freaking out and screaming pretty much the whole time.  I know Brayden is just scared because when the needle went in, he hardly cried.  So that does make me feel better it's not pain he's having, it just him being scared.  I tried giving him a sucker, fruit snack and he didn't want anything. 

The expanders were pretty soft since we didn't do fills for the past 2 weeks.  We got 75 cc's in the right now at 390 cc's and 50 cc's in the left now at 370 cc's.

The left expander does look better but in the middle along the stitches it is still a little red
