States is this weekend and it looks as if she will not be going. She is very upset. She was going to quit gym and just do junior rodeos, wanted to end gymnastics strong. Safety and health are far more important! Has anyone had this disease and if so do you have any info or anything you could share with us?
Thanks, kim

Some good news, is that because of her age she will bounce back quickly, my Goddaughter was Rx at age 12 and 3 months later was back doing Gymnastics and cheerleading, please...do your homework and see more than one Neurosurgeon, I'm on my fourth surgery and first shunt, but I was Rx very late.. so good luck.
