Carly is out of surgery now, with shunt number eighteen in place. The surgery went smoothly and Dr. Gupta said that the valve was visibly clogged again this time. With this valve lasting even less time than the previous type he decided to go back to the original valve. The team will be discussing the options for trying to lower the protein levels in her CSF which continually clog her shunts. Hopefully we find some solution soon.
Love, Brad

I'm so sorry that your princess had to go back for another shunt so quickly. But, I'm glad it went so well and I'll be sending the most positive thoughts and prayers your way that number eighteen is the one.
Hugs for all of you,
