As of the last post Carly was scheduled to have surgery tomorrow to put in a shunt unless the fluid in her head suddenly slowed in production and stopped placing increased pressure on her ventricles. At her head ultrasound today, they found that is exactly what is happening. Although the fluid filled bump is still there on Carly's head (and nearly the size of a can of coke) it has gotten a lot more squishy in the last few days. This, in conjunction with ventricles that look normal, indicate that she may be starting to manage the fluid on her own. It will take some time to know for sure but the surgery has been canceled and she will have another ultrasound and check in with neurosurgery next Monday. Thanks for the healing thoughts and prayers, keep them coming.
Love, Brad
