Our Cute Little Monkey

Carly has been enjoying her time out of the hospital. Her electrolyte levels have been perfect all week, earning her a three day break from blood labs. Her fontanel remains nice and sunken too, a good sign that she is managing her cerebral spinal fluid on her own. She will have a head ultrasound and check-up with Dr. Gupta on Monday for an official progress report. She is still very sleepy, spending most of the day asleep but this is still normal only three weeks after such an extensive surgery. She is also still working on getting her right eye to open all the way, but her ophthalmologist is certain that it is only a matter of time before that fully heals too.

Next Saturday, May 2, the National Brain Tumor Society is having a walk in Golden Gate Park to raise money for brain tumor research and support. Christa's sister has formed a team for Carly and we will all take part in the festivities (hopefully the warm weather returns by then.) We want to thank everyone who has already joined in, and spread the word that the last day to register for the walk is next Wednesday. If you are in the Bay Area and can join us for the walk or if you would like to donate to the cause just click here.

Love, Brad
