I had surgery just 2 weeks ago today. My mind feels more clear
and I have less head aches.

worked for my little boy but not so well for my little girl.

had them replaced a couple of times because they got blocked

VP shunt, no revisions

she has 2 VP shunts

the shunt has not failed so far but we are facing other challenges

I have had my current shunt for 6 years and so far, so good. However, due to my vp shunt I can't go near high magnitude and in some stores because their censors change my dial.

No problems so far.

Too complex to explain here but as I said after multiple shunts ,infections and a stroke at 23 Dr Teo removed my three shunts and that was the end of 22 years of hell with my hydrocephalus.Its to hard to cover 30 years in this space and speak of all the friends I lost my confidance untill dr charlie teo operated on me creating a third ventrical in my brain which allows for the csf to circulate normally without the need for shunts (the operation is called a third venticullar rerouting witch basically means creating a new way for fliud to exorbe and circulate without the need for shunts their for reversing the condition,may not be sutable for everyone but worth inquireing about.
google madiline foundation or look under dr charlie teo neurosurgeon prince of whales hospital( sydney nsw australia)

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