Carly was discharged this afternoon and we are back at home. The warm sun felt good to all of us on the victory walk from the hospital and our sofa has never felt so comfortable. Carly even gave her (now customary) smile as we turned the corner from the hospital and headed downhill toward our house. After a few weeks of sleeping in the PICU, we all should get a good nights rest in the comfort of our own beds.Carly will have daily blood checks over the coming week to monitor her electrolytes and she will have a head ultrasound in a week to see how she is managing without a shunt. She is still very tired and will need to work hard to get back to 100% but she is a tough little cookie and up to the task. Thanks for all of the support which has helped us get this far, we will continue to draw on it as we start the next chapter in Carly's recovery.
Love, Brad

Welcome home! Good for you, Carly. Great to hear that the shunt is clamped.

The sun was shining it's brightest to celebrate your homecoming. I read recently that power is purpose aligned with personality for the greater good....surely we have seen that these past two weeks. The purpose was clearly healing for Carly and your way of working with doctors and nurses was a positive force.
You are a power packed threesome!
Love, T
Enjoy being at home. Much love.
Its so great that you guys are back home. I'll bet Carly is happy to be in her garden again. Continuing to send positive energy for a 100% recovery. I love you all so much.
