The last week has gone well for Carly, and this shunt is clearly better suited to her. The excessive pressure in her brain has not come back and she has been much happier for it. During the last round of increased pressure Carly stopped using her right arm and leg like she typically would and that has not returned to normal yet, but does seem to be improving. She had her best physical therapy session ever yesterday, playing with toys and smiling a lot.
Today we are all thinking of our dear friend Tyler Palmer who we lost on this day a year ago. The last time Christa and I saw him he gave Carly a kiss on the forehead, and I know that he has been watching over her through all this. In honor of him go enjoy the outdoors, make a conscious effort to do something that helps our planet, and give someone a big heartfelt hug.
Love, Brad and Christa

I'm so happy to hear carly's new shunt recovery is going so well and to hear she's smiling a lot. :)
Thinking of Tyler today and all who loved him. See you later for that big heartfelt hug.
If diversity builds strength, you and Christa can move mountains.
So happy to hear Carly is feeling better.A few good thoughts were shared at Japanes temples..D
Glad to hear that the shunt is working well. Have been watching the videos and remembering Tyler. I am so thankful that he has been watching over you all and will continue to be there. A big heartfelt hug to you all.
note to prior message, the word diversity should have read adversity
I am so happy to hear that Carly is feeling better, it brings a big smile to my face. Also remembering Tyler, and sending my love you and Christa.
I am sending my first big heartfelt hug your way, missing all of you. Loved hearing about the good OT session and that it was fun for Carly. She is lucky to have the best of role models.
Surely Tyler is missed every day but at the same time honored as friends make lifestyle choices that reflect his influence.
Brad, I check your blog almost everyday and am so happy to hear that Carly is improving. Robbie and Alexa often ask how she is doing and it is nice to be able to share the good news. I pray that she continues to fight and do well with the new shunt.
