Recovery

Today went extremely well considering what Carly had to go through yesterday. All of the doctors are surprised at how quickly she is bouncing back. She was awake almost the entire day and we did our best to distract her from playing with the various wires and tubes that she is connected to. Her favorite ball and Waddles the penguin got a workout.

Carly had another MRI this afternoon to provide a clear picture of what tumor remains. This will help the team determine the next steps. Just a few minutes ago they removed Carly from her ventilator so she can breathe on her own. It was so nice to see her cute little mouth again.

Love, Brad

Hi, I'm Barbara's prayer partner/friend. Be encouraged Parents. I was born with a rare blood disease and wasn't supposed to see my first birthday. Apparently I was a fighter. I'm a living witness that God honored everyones prayers. I just turned 48 with 4 children and 1 grandbaby. I know Carly can do it! You and Carly are in my prayers. Rena :-D
