Update

Callie had a good day yesterday and was able to make it out of the PICU this morning. We are now on the infants and toddlers floor at Johns Hopkins. We lucked out and ended up with our own room (at least for now)! Now that she is out of the PICU, Mommy is able to stay with her overnight, which is a good thing! Today has had some ups and downs. Her shunt is working well and the Neurosurgeons are happy (which makes Mommy and Daddy happy!) The down is that she is pretty anemic and they are thinking that she may need a blood transfusion before she leaves. We hate for her to have to have another transfusion, but if it is what she needs and will make her feel better than it is definitely worth it. They are going to watch her closely overnight and decide from there.

We had more good news today. Callie's friend Marlee, (she was in the NICU at Hopkins with Callie) had a VP shunt placed today and is doing well! She is across the hall from us now-we are neighbors again!

We will update everyone again soon! Thank you for your continued prayers!
