Carly got her first pair of glasses today and she doesn't protest too much about wearing them. They have a little bit of tint to help her with the bright sunshine and the strong prescription is intended to enable the visual cortex of her brain to develop while allowing her eyes to do less work. As she progresses the prescription will be reduced, and eventually she may not need glasses at all.She has made some great strides in the last week, acting a lot more alert and spending up to an hour awake at a time. Her physical therapy is going well and she can now hold up her head on her own for several minutes. She continues to manage her cerebrospinal fluid too, so the shunt remains disconnected. All of these things are little steps along her path of recovery and each step brightens our day.
Love, Brad
