Aiden's 9th fill

We were supposed to do Aiden's fill yesterday but I didn't want to do one on his birthday so we did it this morning. The hardest part now about doing the fills is keeping him still for 45 minutes while the numbing cream does its magic. It would be so wonderful if he would just sit through an episode of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse but that lasts about 10 minutes! Daddy did everything he could to keep him busy but it was a long 45 minute wait!

I noticed this past week that Aiden's expanders were not softening up as much so I wasn't expecting to get much in. Besides, I am still taking it easy since the incision area is slightly irritated. Aiden did great. A little bit of tears but I credit that to being upset that he had to sit in a controlled environment some more. I got a whopping 20cc in the belly and 25cc in the back. Aiden now has totals of 450cc in belly and 475cc in the back. Even though it was a small amount, it sure did make a big difference. I am so glad that we are near the end because its getting a little uncomfortable for him, especially in the car and on the changing table. Luckily, after a doctor's appointment today, Aiden won't have to go anywhere in the car until we head to the airport since we are in quarantine now.

Take a look at his growing bubbles!

His clothes are getting a little hard to get over such a wide area but they will fit perfectly after surgery!
