Great news Ladies!!! I recently wrote about an upcoming clinical trial that would allow patients to manage filling the expanders themselves...can you imagine? See the link below:

Sadly, there will be others who will walk the path that we have. Be sure to make all aware of this new innovation. Let's keep our fingers crossed that the trials prove successful.
xo,
