Getting There

Carly's brain washing system continues to work well and she felt pretty good today. Her CSF protein levels are low, but it will be hard to know how long that will last until we stop the infusions and see what happens when her ventricles are left to their own devices. Tomorrow around noon Carly will have surgery to remove the EVD's and replace her old shunt with a new one.  With a new shunt in place we will most likely just have one night left in the hospital before we get to head home.  After eleven nights in the PICU, we are all ready for life on the outside again.

Love, Brad

I'm so glad sweet Carly is getting closer to discharge! I can imagine how awesome it will be for you three to go home after this long stay in the hospital. Thinking of you guys and hoping today is a great day for Carly.

Hope the surgery goes well, protein levels stay nice and low, and you get home in time to enjoy a lovely Halloween weekend! xo
