Carly's surgery lasted about three hours and went well. They found that the drainage tube from the shunt valve into her heart was not flowing freely. It was either blocked by a small clot or the end was pressed up against the wall of the vein, restricting the flow. They replaced this catheter as well as the shunt valve and the ventricular catheter as a precaution against infection. Carly is feeling pretty good already and offered up a few smiles at her penguin Waddles.Love, Brad

It's so nice to see her smiling with her buddy waddles. I'm wishing her the very best in recovering from last night's surgery. We know how strong she is, so I'm sure she'll be a power trooper once again. lots of love, michelle
