Custom Made

Carly had a tough night on Tuesday and clearly needed to have surgery yesterday. She went into the OR around 4 yesterday afternoon, and everything went smoothly. The procedure took two hours and Dr. Gupta was able to replace all of the old hardware with Carly's new custom setup. She rested well overnight, with her biggest problem being a really sore throat from intubation that made it hurt for her to swallow. The sore throat has improved this morning and Carly is eating well now. She will be discharged soon and we'll be heading home, hopefully for a record setting run with shunt 23.

Love, Brad

I'm so glad that sweet Carly's procedure went well and that she got some rest last night. With Thanksgiving coming up I'll be thinking of you all and what joy Carly brings to her family and friends.

I don't really follow numerology, but I know the number 23 is special, and often represents regeneration and eternity. Hope you are resting at home and enjoying your sweet girl. xo
