Carly's surgery went fine, with a few unexpected surprises. Dr. Auguste did not find a clog in this shunt. He still replaced the ventricular catheter to the material that may help if she is having an allergic reaction. The high protein could be the cause of the symptoms that looked like a clogged shunt, and hopefully the new shunt hardware helps in lowering this. At the end of the procedure they could hear a lot of congestion in Carly's airway so they left her on the breathing machine and sent her to the PICU for recovery. A chest X-ray did not show any signs of a major lung infection so she was extubated a few hours ago and is resting pretty comfortably now. We are hoping that she can get some much deserved rest.
Love, Brad
