Fill #2 for round 4

We had a pretty uneventful week, we are trying to keep Brayden away from a lot of social things while he has his expanders in.  Seems like too many kids and adults are sick right now and we want a smooth round of fills for Brayden and we don't want a repeat of last round, that ended up with emergency surgery.

Tonight we did fill #2.  Erin and Brent came over again this week to help us and we are so thankful they come help. Having the extra hands really help us while doing the fills. 

While Brayden let the numbing cream set in, he enjoyed some yummy popcorn and watched Rugrats movie. 

 

 

Brayden was not happy when he seen daddy get all the supplies out for the fill.  He kept saying daddy no.  When Geoffrey was doing the fill, Brayden cried the whole time, and he kept saying shoo daddy, shoo and owie.  But luckily it only takes 10 to 15 min to do the fills and then it's over with.  Right after the fill is done, Brayden is happy as can be and back to his normal self. 

 

Last week I emailed Dr. Bauer pictures of Brayden's expanders and he said Brayden is looking great and we can start filling like normal and don't have to be slow.  So that was good to hear and that's what we did this week.  I am happy we got another fill in, 2 down and 8 more to go!

 



We got 110 cc in the right expander now at 300 cc's.  60 cc in the left expander now at 220 cc's and 45 cc in the leg expander now at 135 cc's.
