Carly had a checkup with Dr. Gupta today and he is happy with her progress. Her head ultrasound showed that her ventricles have not gotten bigger, meaning that for now she is still managing without a shunt. It will be some time before we can officially cross hydrocephalus off of the list of conditions that Carly will have to live with, but this is a great sign. She continues to be very sleepy, sometimes falling asleep in between bites when eating solid foods (which as you can imagine is pretty cute.) Dr. Gupta said that this is still not unusual, and that it was a good sign that she continues to show little improvements during the periods that she is awake. Both her moments asleep and awake are a blessing, and Christa and I are thankful for Carly's incredible strength every day.
Love, Brad
