Brayden's Journey

Results from round #2 surgery

Brayden had a much better night last night, he slept from 11 pm until 7 am without pain meds.  What a strong little boy! Today he is hanging out with my sister and Makenna.  He loves spending time with his cousin.  He hasn't been walking yet, which is good because he needs to take it easy for the next 2 weeks, so he can heal. He has been eating again and playing with his toys and of course watching his favorite tv show, Dino Dan.

We are very happy with the results, last round since he ended up with infection and emergency surgery Dr. Bauer only got 100 square centimeters of nevus off and now we got 200 square centimeters of nevus off.  So double the amount! Now we will let the skin heal for the next 4 months and do this all over again on August 30th.  He will get 2 expanders in, one on his leg, yes, his upper leg.  And one on his back.  Then he will get them out November 15th.  

Over all Brayden is doing so much better today, thank you everyone for all the support, prayers and encouragement.  We are so lucky to have all of you supporting my little super hero!
