Puzzled

It has not been an easy week for Carly. She has continued to be very uncomfortable and restless, only sleeping well for two out of the last seven nights.  It is a tricky puzzle to figure out, which is saying a lot for the princess of tricky puzzles. One possibility is that she is having trouble adjusting to her lower cranial pressure now that her shunt is working. While the pressure may be appropriate, it could be that she became accustom to a higher pressure when she had a clogged shunt. After giving her a week to adjust without any success, neurosurgery adjusted the shunt up one setting to see if that can give her some relief. They are also running blood and urine tests to rule out an infection and preliminary results are looking clear. She could definitely use a little boost of strength from Team Carly as she makes her way past this most recent hurdle.  Thanks for keeping her in your thoughts.

Love, Brad
