Default long haul flights with hydrocephalus

hi all

my daughter orlaith is 1 and has hydrocephalus, she had a vp shunt inserted at three weeks old. we have been on holidays this summer and she was fine on the flight (2 1/2 hours) and are hoping to travel to florida in 2009. so its a 9 1/2 hour flight from dublin, ireland to orlando and its only occured to me now that i dont know if this is a good idea for her.

the drs have told us that she should be fine and the only thing not to let her do is boxing (as if) doubt she will be playing camogie either (its an irish game played with a very hard wooden bat that all team players have to hit the ball). so was hoping someone here would shed some light on flying with hydrocephalus for me please
