Carly has been free from her NG tube since Tuesday and she continues to eat well. She has also graced us with a few more smiles over the last week and every one is a wonderful gift. A belly ultrasound yesterday showed that she is still absorbing the CSF that her shunt is sending into her peritoneum too, so it continues to look like her new shunt is working. All of this good news means that she can now get back to her physical therapy sessions and start making up for some lost time.
I just noticed a poll today that asked people if they have donated to humanitarian aid in Haiti. Of those polled, 48% had donated and 52% had not, and honestly I would like to see the number that have donated be much higher. I am sure everyone that reads this blog is aware of the disaster that has happened to this nation that had already seen more hardship than any nation should. We have been through a lot over the last two years, but we are still so much more fortunate than so many in Haiti. If you have not already, please consider donating to Haitian relief and we will also help by sending the power of Team Carly their way.
Love, Brad

Love,

hope Carly continues on this track and gives you more and more smiles.
sadly, the pictures from Haiti are devastating and you're right to remind everyone that we are all in this together and we need to help each other in times of need. Your post is yet another reminder that Carly is being cared for by good and selfless people with love and concern for all human beings. it's beautiful. always inspired by you and Christa, and of course by Carly, too.
big hugs to you three,
Sheila
Amen...it's amazing how fortunate we feel when compared with those who have so much less than us.
It sounds like Carly is feeling much better. I am so happy for you all!
