It was another good day, a trend that we could get used to. Carly continues to eat well and they removed her NG feeding tube and the central line that has been running into her right jugular vein since June 6. She is a little swollen from the medications and IV feedings but that doesn't stop her smile from brightening everyone's day.Today is the day we bid farewell to June. I have always liked it as months go, but 2009 is one that I never want to repeat. It is hard to believe that we have spent nearly the entire month here in the fish bowl like rooms of the PICU. It is still impossible not to feel fortunate to have such an amazingly strong daughter, an incredible wife, caring and helpful family, and friends around the world that offer so much love and support. I can't wait to thank you all in person, on the outside.
Love, Brad

So so happy to hear the good news and see Carly's beautiful smile. She is an inspiration. Lots of love to you all!
What a wonderful way to start the day, with a little smile like that. See ya, June! Don't let the door hit you on the way out! We will miss you terribly this weekend, but rest up, as good times are around the bend and June '09 shall soon be but a memory. Don't worry, we'll do lots of dancing for you. Home is in your near future, I can feel it. All my love.
