Carly is feeling pretty good heading into the weekend. She had an ultrasound on Thursday to check on the fluid pressure in her ventricles and they looked about the same size as a week ago. Today her ophthalmologist dilated her pupils to check out her optic nerve and make sure that it isn't experiencing excessive pressure and he verified the good news from the ultrasound. At the very least this means that we can all rest easy over the weekend without being overly concerned by the fluid that has accumulated in the lump on her head. On Monday we will check in again with Dr. Gupta to determine the next steps, and they are holding a Wednesday surgical appointment for her should the decision be to insert the shunt. Carly, Christa and I hope everyone has a great weekend.
Love,
Brad

My sister Sarah (Mullinger) emailed our family to send happy thoughts back in September, but she just sent me the link to this blog. It's so nice to read all the updates and see pictures of the beautiful little girl we've been thinking about for the last couple months.
Much love to you all. Hope you have been enjoying the beautiful weather. Sending good fluid reduction thoughts.
We are sending positive vibes all the way from Taipei, M and D
