Restless

Carly didn't have the best night last night. Around 5pm she starting getting very agitated for an unknown reason and it kept us up for many hours before we finally gave her a big enough dose of a sedative that helped her finally relax. Today she has been less agitated but she is still uncomfortable and is not interested in eating once again. One theory is that the drop from high cranial pressure to lower (normal) cranial pressure is an uncomfortable change that takes a few days to adjust to. There is another theory that one of her medications was reduced too quickly, or that the pneumonia is causing the agitation. She is still uncomfortable now but less than last night and we are hopeful that she will get some much needed rest. We will explore all of the theories tomorrow and hopefully something will help her feel more like herself.

Love, Brad
