Thanks for the replys. Orlaith is still under her neurologist and always will be, she is currently getting a 6 monthly full medical review but her paediatrician has said if i have any worries to just ring and an appointment will be made availabe asap to see them. So should her shunt be checked on a regular basis to see if it is working?? am i making sense??

I was telling my husband about this and he said the surgeon definitely said that she may never have problems with the shunt, ,maybe im taking maybe up to mean more than it is so i have an appointment with our local gp and will have a chat with him, he has 6 other patients with shunts on his books so im sure he will be able to point me in the right direction.

On a plus side orlaith has started to crawl and is into everything, its sometimes very easy to forget that she has the shunt, and then other days it justs hits me that it can all go wrong.
