Carly's surgery went well and she is now resting peacefully in a room on the pediatric floor. The procedure took about three hours, with the first hour being the placement of a central veinous port that we opted for Carly to get in order to make IV access easier in the future. This has always been a struggle with her, so hopefully it will help. After the port placement Dr. Gupta replaced the shunt valve and distal catheter, which were both clogged. He used the high protein valve this time around and we are hoping that number seventeen is planning on sticking around for a long time. Thanks for keeping Carly in your thoughts and prayers.
Love, Brad
