Another day up on the hill has passed and it was pretty uneventful. Carly has continued to be very sleepy and her temperature has been on the low side so she is resting underneath a pile of warm blankets, wearing one as a hat. Early in the day the neurosurgery resident tapped her shunt to remove some CSF to help relieve some pressure on her brain while she waits for surgery. She was a little more alert after the tap, opening her eyes a few times and even trying to pull out her nasal cannula (the breathing tube in her nostrils.) Her chest x-ray this morning didn't show any change in her pneumonia which is a good thing, and all of her vital signs have remained steady which hopefully means that the pneumonia is not intensifying. Dr. Gupta stopped by in the morning and said that he hopes to be able to get a spot on the operating room schedule tomorrow for Carly's shunt revision. Christa and I both feel very lucky to have the care of doctors and nurses that we trust and the support of all of you.Love, Brad
