Can't Keep A Good Girl Down

Carly is feeling much better this afternoon as the effects of anesthesia and high doses of steroids wear off. She had only slept 30 minutes in over 30 hours and was definitely not feeling great but earlier today that started to fade and now she is acting more like herself. Her sodium level is now normal and she was taken off her IV drip this evening. They will be monitoring her ability to manage her sodium levels over the next day (or so) before we get the all clear to go home. We would obviously like for that to be tomorrow but just seeing Carly acting like her cute little self is enough to keep us happy.

Love, Brad

I am very glad to hear that Carly is feeling better. We have been thinking about her and you and your family during the holidays, although I just read through all of your new messages now after returning from the east coast. As always, sending love, healing energy and much hope for the new year.
