    • About Me

      I am a single mom of a the most beautiful angel on earth. My divorce should be final on or around the 28th of September. My husband threw my daughter and me out on April 14, 2009. He was emotionally abusive and never really bonded with my daughter who has Hydrocephalus and epilepsy. She is thriving now that we are not in such an abusive environment. I am surviving what has become a VERY emotional journey!! I just want to be a good mother.

      Wow, your life has changed! However, it sounds like his loss, and your gain. It's never good to stay with an abusive person. I wish you the best of luck on your own. I hope Samantha is doing well.

    • Close Hydrocephalus

      My 20 month old daughter has hydrocephalus. She had 2 failed ventriculostomies, and arachnoid cyst and now she has a vp shunt. The 2nd ventriculostomy and shunt surgery were within 7 days of eachother.

      Treatments

      Working so far. Just had shunt done 7/25. It is so hard to tell side effects in comparison to regular toddler behavior.
