Default VP shunt mom

I am interested in meeting other parents to kids with VP shunts. I do not know anyone who is going through what we are going through with my son. He is 6 months old and was a preemie (28 weeks). He got his first EVD procedure at 4 weeks of age and then a permanent VP shunt at 8 weeks old. We are now experiencing what might result in his first revision. It seems there have been problems every other week since the surgery. I am constantly on edge. He is so fragile and I am fearful all the time. Please help if you can. Thank you.,
