Default Vomiting

Hello all,
I have a 14 month daughter ,Vivien , with a VP shunt. She has a twin sister, but Vivien has always been more suseptible to vomitting. She has vomitted for the second day in a row, and we are looking at this as a possible telltale sign of a shunt malfunction. The question I have is, when the shunt fails, are we looking at really frequent vomitting or vomitting that passes and then eveything is fine. Is it enough for vomitting to be the only symptom. There seems to be very little statistical and empirical information on symptoms of shunt malfunction

Thanks,
Diego
