Carly's surgery went smoothly this morning, lasting about two hours. Dr. Auguste said that there was a lot of sludge in the catheter that was blocking the flow of the shunt. He also told us that Carly clearly had increased cranial pressure and he drained some CSF to give additional relief. Carly woke from anesthesia quickly and was ready to eat in less than an hour which is much faster than usual. She has also smiled several times already, something that she rarely does in the hospital. She has some sore spots from the incisions on her head and her belly that are clearly bothering her but that should subside in a few days. Thanks for the love and prayers, they helped keep Carly safe though another trip to the OR.
Love,
Brad
