Yesterday I fell asleep before I could send out a Carly update. Overall she is continuing to improve and a lot of critical levels are approaching normal. She didn't sleep for the first 32 hours after the surgery, but is now managing to get in some naps. They warned us that on the second day post op patients are usually at their most puffy (the entire body swells up after a procedure like this.). They weren't kidding, as she was swollen from head to toe. She still looked as cute as a button, just a larger button.
We spoke a bit with Dr. Gupta and he continues to be happy with her progress. He seems fairly certain that a second surgery is in her future, the question being whether that would happen sooner (a week) or later (several months to a year+.) We will be in the ICU until at least Monday, and then we should start to get a more firm plan on the next steps.
Thanks for the continued support, it is definitely helping power us all through this.
Love, Brad

So glad to hear about Carly's continued improvement. That's great news. Hang in there and keep up the good work!
Hi B, C, and c - I went for a run at Sawyer Camp this morning, visualizing Carly with me and absorbing the amazing smells of the bay trees after a new rain, the beauty of a rainbow through the off-and-on drizzle, and healing energy of this running meditation. Lots of love to the three of you. -A
