So far so good today. Nothing too new to report from two days ago but I did take some pictures of how much my upper jaw has expanded and want to show the difference so far. I was supposed to go in to see the surgeon this afternoon but they are calling for a terrible blizzard again so I didn't want to risk the drive especially with my boys. I rescheduled to see him tomorrow afternoon instead so he can check to make sure all is still going well for healing.
One thing I have noticed in the last week is that my teeth have gone more yellow and it's all because of the peridex rinse that I have to use three times a day. Even thought I brush about 15 times a day (literally) I am told this is to be expected and that the dentist will be able to get it all cleaned off when I am able to go for a cleaning. Another wonderful "perk" of this process.
Check out these pictures though, it's pretty crazy to see the difference so far:

| 24 turns (You can see how much the middle of the expander has spread apart) | | | | |

Here are the pics of my bite before expansion and the bite I have currently:
