Hey, Kooky.

Memory--particularly short-term--with hydro is a lifelong issue, but there are tricks that can help. I use a lot of association and visuals. I write important things down and try to keep belongings I use frequently in the same place so I know where they are at all times. The severity of memory issues depends on a bunch of variables--cause of the hydro, promptness and effectiveness of treatment, any complications, etc. If he's had an infection or other type of insult to the brain, that will likely make it more of a problem.

Is he currently under the care of a neurosurgeon who is well-trained and exeprienced in hydro? If not, a second opinion would be a good idea.

I hope this is helpful to you. Please PM me if I can answer any questions for you.
