hi jennifer,
my son is 12 and diagnosed with hydro secondary melingities when he was 2 months. we live in egypt, and our doctor( thank goodness i found a good one) is great in surgeries, but not in talking. he tols us the signs of any shunt failure, but if any question, he looks up to u as if he wants to say: how can u be so dumb? so i've been checking myself on line for more informations and thank god found a lot. i know that the future is not predictable, but do u know about people who have been living with the shunt life time and no problems? trying to find any comforting percentige out there. my son until now is doing great, beside some minor physical restrictions, and a bitt of concentration problems, everything else seems to go fine.
do u know any site wich can give more info?
thx
