Things settled down quite a bit for Carly near the end of last week and over this weekend. We were definitely worried that she was on her way toward a shunt revision, but her symptoms have improved and she is much more comfortable now. On Thursday she smiled at least six times, which is more than we have seen in a single day in a really long time and she is looking like she feels better. Her blood cell counts will be checked tomorrow to see how her pancytopenia is progressing, and we will continue to keep a close eye on her to make sure her shunt continues to work. I am sure all of the love and prayers that are coming her way are helping her though this.
Love, Brad

Knowing Carly smiled 6x in one day makes me smile. Hoping for many, many more and frequent smiles for you guys and sending so much love and strength Carly's way. So much I know she'll share some with her amazing parents. ((HUGS))
