Calmer Days

Carly’s weekend was definitely better than her Friday. Saturday morning she was finally comfortable enough to get in her stroller and walk around the neighborhood for a little while. This is usually one of her favorite things and it was a big relief to finally see her sleeping comfortably.  A bigger surprise came later in the day when we decided to try and take Carly to a bbq graduation party in Golden Gate Park. We weren’t even sure if Carly would be able to make it there let alone stay for more than 15 minutes, but in the end she rested peacefully for nearly two hours while we got to catch up with some of our closest friends. That was an amazing gift. She is still cycling in and out of discomfort and it is hard to tell what all of the issues are.  It will take several days before we will know if she is truly on her way to recovery, but any improvement is a relief. I know that the Team Carly boost must be helping, thanks.

Love, Brad
