Quick Exit

Carly rested well through the night, and the stars must have been aligned because we managed to get discharged from the hospital before 8am this morning. This was a first, and it wouldn't have been possible if Carly wasn't such a strong girl. As we got home and put her in her bed for a nap, I realized that only 30 hours earlier we were waking up in the middle of the night with Carly feeling terrible due to a clogged shunt. It is amazing to see how much better she can feel in such a short amount of time, and it is a tribute to Dr. Auguste for putting the plan for surgery to action so quickly after we called the neurosurgery pager.  Getting to spend the afternoon enjoying the sun in Sausalito was a big improvement over Saturday and a great way to end the whirlwind weekend.

Love, Brad

Being strong and having quick recoveries are just two of the many amazing traits of this little powerhouse. You're really so fortunate to be so close to the hospital and have a team that works so well and quickly with what you all need. Enjoy the sun!

so glad Carly is feeling better and that her team at the hospital is so responsive and effective. She is strong and she is surrounded by competent, loving people -- both her parents and her doctors. Hope you can all catch up on rest now.
