Carly's platelet count slowly decreased over the last week and she finally got to the point that she needed another transfusion today. It has been two weeks since her last platelet transfusion, and the fact that she was able to last that long is encouraging that her bone marrow is doing some work. The transfusion itself was straightforward, however getting IV access was a big challenge as usual. It took many needle pokes, but the nurses were finally able to get an IV in and Carly got her platelets and some IV fluids. Once her platelet count was back to a safe level neurosurgery tapped her shunt again to see how the protein level is trending to determine if any additional treatment is necessary. We should have the results from that test tomorrow. Carly is still pretty uncomfortable, but we are hopeful that some answers will reveal themselves in the next few days. Of course, we are more than happy to have no answers as long as Carly starts to feel better. As always, your love and support is uplifting for Carly, Christa and I.
Love, Brad
