Carly's clogged EVD's continue to be difficult to manage. Because they are not flowing freely, each hour the nurses have to force flow and estimate how much CSF to remove. As it is an estimate it is easy to take too much or too little, and over several hours this can add up and leave Carly with internal cranial pressures that are either too high or too low. Earlier today her pressure was too high, and now it may be a bit too low, neither of which feels very good. Fortunately Carly did have several good hours today peppered with smiles and visits from some friends. The plan for the next steps is dependent on some lab results that we should know tomorrow. Thanks for keeping Carly in your thoughts and prayers.
Love, Brad

I hope you get some answers soon.
Praying for you all.

Maybe all of this difficulty will actually provide them with more information to make more informed decisions. But we hope our little girlfriend is comfortable and continues to smile. She certainly knows how loved she is, that's for sure.
Poor little pumpkin. So hoping they can figure this out and that Carly is comfortable again soon!
