Expansion started!

I'm sorry I have been slow getting surgery photos posted. I will do that later today. Today is the first fill of the expander. The insertion surgery went better than planned, done in 1.5 hours instead of the scheduled 2.5! We could really feel your prayers! Bug had some major bruising right on where the expander is immediately after surgery. Most of it faded but almost 3 weeks later there is still some bruising.... I will ask the surgeon about it today.
Today Bug will get some more saline added to her expander. the surgeon put 40ml in to begin with and we will slowly add to that every couple of weeks. I will post surgery pictures and a fill report later today when I'm back from the hospital. And back from getting Goober from school. The busy life a mom of 3 I tell ya!
