The left side is slowly catching up, and we just might get it there. Dr. B gave us his blessing to do the fills every 5 days on that side -- so long as there are no signs of stress on the skin. Although that side is moving along slowly, the skin is absolutely perfect. We will be very careful to keep it that way.
So yesterday, being the 5th day after it's last fill, we went ahead... but with an audience. My little buddy Brayden, who is almost 9 months old, came over to check it out. Brayden is leaving for Chicago TOMORROW for his first surgery. I know he will be the super star I am, but we still pray for him and ask that you do too. It's really amazing that Brayden lives so close to me - like 20 minutes away - and his nevus is really similar to mine. We are going to be great buddies! Check out Bryaden's story at http://braydenphillipson.blogspot.com/.
The fill went about perfect too. Mom and dad are such pros at doing the injections, they hardly have to think about it anymore. They got 35 cc in again, and it is now at 420. We hope that it matches the other one by the time we go back in 2 1/2 weeks.
For now, although we are a tiny bit disappointed about the way this expansion has worked out, we are still ecstatic that we were able to exapand at all (remember back to the first round). Please help us pray that Dr. Bauer doesn't have to cut out the bruised skin. Considering where it is, it would mean a lot more cutting and stitches and recovery and scarring.
