Carly was discharged early Monday afternoon and she was clearly happy to be home. Unfortunately over the last few days she has started to feel worse, leaving us wondering if it could be the shunt malfunctioning already or if it is something else with very similar symptoms. By this afternoon all of the typical high pressure symptoms came back in force, so we needed to do something about it. Christa took Carly up to see neurosurgery to have the shunt adjusted to flow more easily. As they checked the setting they found that it was between settings which could have caused some issues, so it was changed to the setting we initially requested. The hope is that this will relieve Carly's high pressure symptoms, but we can always lower the setting tomorrow if it doesn't do the trick. So far this evening she is not really doing better, so it is looking like we will need to adjust the shunt tomorrow and hope that helps. Keep thinking the good shunt thoughts, I know we are!
Love, Brad
