Lucky Number Twelve

Carly had her fastest shunt surgery yet. Dr. Gupta found a clog in the ventricular catheter, but the rest of the shunt was working normally. This meant that she was able to avoid a belly incision this time, which is often the most tender area. She has eaten well since the surgery, and although she is a bit uncomfortable it is looking like she may be able to settle down for some sleep. We will be heading home tomorrow and will be hoping that things keep flowing through number twelve. Thanks for all of your love and support.

Love, Brad
