    I think hydrocephalus is pretty rare, isn't it? Maybe there are no other members at the moment who have a child with that condition. In general people won't reply unless they know the answer to your question.

    I'm sorry to say that I have no idea either. I'm sure this is something you can ask your doctor.

    Have you tried looking for an online support group for people with hydrocephalus, or parents of children with the condition? I bet there's at least one out there, and maybe they can help with advice.

    Hydrocephalus

    might be a starting point?

    Nicole - I hope this link helps, on another BB members thread. If it doesnt work go to search and type in hydrocephalus and enter.

    You could find some others in the same situation. Sorry again I cant offer any help, but sending more hugs anyway.

    Hi. I hope things are ok.
    My BIL contracted menangitis at a few months old & it caused his hydrocephalus. He had treatment, but now is intellectually disabled (slightly IMO), but his case sounds much worse than yours.
    I don't know much about it, but I can't imagine how scared you must be.
    goodluck.
