                        Hi! Lynn!  I am a mother of two children with hydrocephalus.  The 23 yr. old one has had a shunt from the time she was 3 days old.  She also had revisions at 6 weeks.  Two again at 2-1/2 years one at 5 yr one at 6, and lastly at 11 yrs.  She is presently a pediatric nurse, she does help other parents understand how it feels and what it is like from hear perspective.  It is a very hard time but, I can now say it has been worth all the struggle.  If you would like me to pass along to her feel free to reply to troth@tcel.com  Good Luck! It does get better and easier!
