Wrapped Up

Carly has been wrapped in this bandage since Thursday to help discourage fluid from returning to the space between her skull and skin and was clearly happy to have it taken off at her appointment this morning. She is still rubbing her head and moving it back and forth to scratch the back as she is eating now. Dr. Gupta was happy with how it looked and said to leave her head unwrapped for a few days to see how she responds. There is already some fluid pooling back at the site now so we will see how it goes over the next few days. They can manage it either way, but it is preferable that swelling does not return.

Carly is doing well and we certainly appreciate the baby gifts, hugs, phone calls, cards and blog comments. You are all a great support to us.

Love, Brad

She looks adorable. I will say a prayer for the fluid, and I pray every night for her brain to be healthy. The two of you are doing a great job!
Love,
