Back To The OR

Soon after my last post, Carly's seizures returned. At first she was having one a day, then it went up to three a day and stayed at the level.  We were hoping that the seizures would go away on their own, but after three weeks they are still hanging around. On top of the seizures, Carly has just not seemed quite like herself and seems to be slowly feeling worse. She is still smiling during the day and eating pretty well, but we have had the feeling that shunt number ten was on the way out. Carly had several tests last week to rule out other causes, and nothing obvious has come up. Since things are not clearing up on their own, she will be having a shunt replacement surgery tomorrow afternoon.  We're hoping that her positive progress can get back on track quickly with shunt number eleven.

Love, Brad

Why go to 10, when you can go to 11? 11 is the magic number, I can feel it!
I'm sorry for the setback, but confident that it will be temporary. Sending warm, healing thoughts Carly's way.
