Carly had a more restful night last night, needing some consoling but having some longer stretches when we all got some rest. The biggest challenge today is continuing to deal with clogging issues with her EVD. It shouldn't come as a big surprise, but the protein that has been perpetually clogging her shunts is now clogging her EVD. She is now hooked up to an irrigation system that is pumping fluid into one EVD and draining back out another, in hope that this will help dilute the CSF and clear her ventricles. She is still clogging pretty quickly, but so far the clogs can be cleared with a little intervention every thirty minutes. They plan to keep that up overnight and hopefully it will start to flow more freely on its own.
Love, Brad
