Eleven

Carly made it through another surgery with flying colors. The procedure lasted about two hours, and Dr. Gupta replaced all of the shunt hardware. He was able to see a clog in end of the peritoneal catheter that was preventing the old shunt from working properly. It was a relief to hear that the shunt was malfunctioning and that our call to replace it was the right one. Carly is resting now, and has already eaten once since the surgery. She is in some pain, as usual with these procedures, but we are hoping for a quick and easy recovery for her.

Love, Brad
