Mi Casa

Carly had a good night after the surgery so we were discharged this afternoon and are back at home. No matter how many times we have been through this, I am always amazed at how quickly she improves once she has a functional shunt. She is a bit uncomfortable from her two incisions but she is so much better than she was on Sunday night that it lightens all of our spirits.  Thanks for the support each and every day.

Love, Brad

Out of the OR

Carly's surgery went smoothly and shunt number 15 is in place. Dr. Gupta found two clogs in the old shunt and replaced all of the components. Her CSF continues to have really high protein levels, which is likely the culprit for all of the clogs. We continue to hope that this starts to normalize and that number fifteen is up to the task.

Love,

Brad

Fifteen

I have been meaning to write with updates on both fundraising progress for the Team Carly brain tumor walk team, as well as the plan for Carly's radiation. Those will have to wait a post, as this is short and sweet to let everyone know that shunt #14 stopped working over the weekend and Carly just went into the operating room for #15. Please keep her in your thoughts, I will post an update when the surgery is over.

Love,

Brad
