Carly had a good day today and her custom EVD system is
working well. It is holding up to the high flow irrigation, which is allowing
the high protein CSF to be washed out. The protein continues to be produced,
but the hope is that the steroid infusions will reduce inflammation and in turn
bring down the protein levels. The treatment will continue for another day, and
Carly is tentatively scheduled to have a shunt revision surgery on Friday
afternoon. If we can keep to that schedule we would likely be able to go home
on Saturday. We won't get ahead of ourselves and we'll continue take each day
one moment at a time, but there is no denying that it will feel great to get
home.
Love, Brad.

Sounds great. I'm singing the Final Countdown, hoping you only have these last three days left at the hospital. Thanks for the great report.
doo doo doooo dooooo, doo doo doo doo doooo...
I'm so glad that Carly's custom system is doing well so far. I hope she has a good day today and that her revision on Friday goes well. I'm hoping you guys get to go home in a few short days. I'm sending lots of healing vibes for sweet Carly.
Hoping you get to go home on Saturday! And very glad that Carly's customized device is working well.
