Twenty
Carly went in for surgery at noon today, and they finished up just after two. Everything went smoothly, and Dr. Gupta found clogs in both of the catheters so he replaced all of the shunt hardware. The high protein in her CSF is still the culprit, as it has been for most of the shunts, but it has come down a bit over the last few months and we are hoping that trend continues. Carly is feeling sore, but she did just finish a bottle and is resting now. She has a lot of neighbors separated only by curtains, so hopefully everyone is feeling good through the night. We expect to be heading home sometime tomorrow morning.
Love,
Brad
