Bumps In The Road

Carly got her first high chair today and enjoyed eating apple sauce and pears as her first meal in it. She was given a cute new hat too which is perfect timing because the bandage on her head was removed on Monday and the bump on her head is back. Next Monday she will have another ultrasound to make sure the fluid isn't increasing the pressure on her brain, but judging from the last ultrasound we don't expect that it is. We were told that sometimes this happens after this type of surgery and that it often takes several rounds of "tap and wrap" (drain the fluid and then wrap her head in a bandage) before it completely heals.

Carly continues to do well otherwise. The ophthalmologist said that there was noticeable improvement in the past week in her ability to control her eye movements. A development specialist brought Carly a few new toys to play with and she particularly likes the red pom-pon and Mardi Gras beads. We will make sure that the red pom-pon is swapped for a gold one soon, they may be having a terrible football season but she still has to support the Boilers.

Love, Brad
