Brayden's Journey

Fill #6 and 1 month till surgery!

Can't believe we are at fill # 6 already, but we are happy we are past the half way mark and doing great! Today marks 1 month till surgery, how I wish I could just wake up tomorrow and it could be May 7th.  I am ready for this round to be over with and I am ready to see our results.  If we keep things up the way they are going, we will reach our goals and get great results. 

Tonight 2 of Geoffrey's co-workers came over to help us with the fill, Karen and Kristin.  They wanted to see the process and have been supportive of Brayden from day one.  It's always good for people to come over to see the process and understand what Brayden goes through.

Geoffrey talked to Mim this week to see if we could give Brayden anything before we do his fill to calm him down and she said only thing would be tyneol.  Well we wanted something to relax him, he's not in pain, he's scared.  So tonight was another battle of trying to hold Brayden down.  He kept wanted to climb up on me and moving his legs around like crazy.  Finally we held his legs down to get the 1st needle in.  By the time Geoffrey stuck him with the 3rd needle, Brayden was so exhausted of crying and screaming that he didn't move around as much.

On a good note, we had another good fill tonight! We got 100 cc's on the right now at 690 cc's.  Left we got 75 cc's and now at 515 cc's and the leg we got 60 cc's now at 355 cc's.  We are very happy with our numbers right now.
