Eight Is Enough


After a long day of waiting for a spot in the OR, Carly went into surgery at 4:12 this afternoon.  The surgery went very smoothly and was over in less than two hours.  Dr. Gupta replaced all of the shunt hardware and Carly now has her eighth shunt. She is a bit sore and fussy from the surgery, but seems to be settling down now for some well deserved sleep.  Thank you for sending love that helped to guide our little angel through another procedure.

Love, Brad

8 IS enough. The message board peeps all rallied to send goodvibes to Carly throughout the day yesterday and we continue to keep her and her courageous mom and dad in our thoughts. We are all hoping this surgery does the trick for a long, long time.

8 is great! Very happy to hear that the procedure went smoothly. I have a good feeling about shunt #8.

Hope that little C is resting, and that you guys get some much needed calm.

Much love,
