[QUOTE="NikatKimber, post: 3003795, member: 423"] Glad they caught it in time (if only just!)! My brother was born with hydrocephalus, which is where the brain/neck cannot drain the fluid surrounding the brain. It builds up if not caught/treated and causes brain damage. Apparently sometimes it heals on its own, which is far more desirable. However, if it does not a shunt must be put in to allow drainage, asap. It was diagnosed early, but his birth mother did not follow up and it caused blindness, seizures, and mental retardation. The seizures eventually took him when he was 15. We learned how fragile the brain is; but also that it is capable of wonderful things. [/QUOTE]
