Carly's surgery took three and a half hours, and after a few hours in recovery we are back in our room on the 6th floor. The surgery went well and Dr. Auguste replaced the shunt valve and the catheter that runs into her belly. He said that the old catheter was clearly clogged and once it was replaced the shunt flowed well and relieved the pressure on her brain. The recovery from Carly's last shunt was a bit rocky for her, so now we are just hoping that the next few days are uneventful and if all goes well we will be on our way home tomorrow.
Love, Brad
