Hi,

My name is Gillian and I have a 1 year old daughter born with hydrocephalus. We live in Ireland and was just searching the web to find discussion threads for people with hydrocephalus and came across this one and like the format

Orlaith (my daughter) was diagnosed with hydrocephalus when I was 36 weeks pregnant. They sectioned me at 38 weeks and when she was three weeks old she had her vp shunt inserted. It will be one year on tuesday since the op and so far so good

anyway enough rambling, just thought i would introduce us and the rest of the clan who consists of my husband jason, son ciaran (14) and dd1 Aoife (11) we are all in the dark as to what to expect from orlaith as in she is only 1 so cant tell us if she's in pain etc, well apart from screaming the house down which she doesnt normally do
