Setback

After the fill on May 8^th, an area on the suture line for the left expander looked blueish (like a bruise underneath the skin). It didn’t appear to cause her any pain but it was a bit alarming to us.  We decided to watch it and see if it went away by morning (we do her fills at bed time). I sent pictures to the doctor the following morning since there was no improvement and he suggested we remove the amount of fluid we put in before the blue “veins” appears. So, last night (May 9) we removed the 15ml we had put in the night before in hopes the blue would disappear, but sadly tonight it remains the same. The good news is it does not look any worse, just not any better. The doctor agreed to wait a few days before we do another fill on that side. And it is possible that we are going to have to proceed at a slower rate at this point. Meaning we most likely won’t be putting in 15ml at each filling, more like 10 or less.
