    I am from Nepal. My son has hydrochephalus. He has gone through 14 plus surgery/procedures within a year. He is finally stable after a year of struggle. He is 22 months old now but he is unable to hold his head and to crawl or walk. I carry him everywhere I go. But he is a very happy kid. He has good appetite. In addition to these conditions , he has cerebral palsy. Nepal does not have enough and good health centres but we are trying our best to make him alright with whatever we have in our country. We love our son. After seeing this video, I have hope that one day my boy will be speaking, walking and holding his head high in the best way possible. I want him to do good. I respect the mother in this video who has inspired me so much. Lots of love to family :)

    I work in the schools with children who have disabilities. The preschools are inclusion so you have typical children along with children with disabilities. We accommodate the classes room for each child's special needs. I had a child in my classroom who had Osteogenesis Inperfecta which is known as brittle bones. It was a challenge while educating the other childern about brittle bones. I love my job and would have nothing else. These children mean the world to me seeing there little faces light up everyday brings joy to my heart.

    that's so amazing to hear! hydrocephalus always seems to be portrayed as a hopeless disease. people are told their children will never "thrive", or even survive the next few hours after they're born. I wish there were more stories like yours and Ella's out there to show it's not always a death sentence.

She is 5 and her brain wants to talk as a 5 year old and when people keep tryong to guess im sure thats hard. Add in thats daily and maybe a few times a day. I bet we all would get mad. She doez knoe nog to hurt others so now they have to find ways to help. I hope shes good enough at some point that a computer etc can hdlp her say what she wants, why shes sad etc.

    Good for you Cassandra! I hope your shunt lasts for the rest of your life. My daughter is 49 years old and had 5 revisions but one shunt lasted 18 years and the one she has now has lasted 23 years!!! Isn’t that great? Shunts are so much better now than when she was born in 1971. She was lucky not to have spina bifida.

    @@smc130 23 years is great. My son had a shunt inserted two years ago aged 8. I’m really hoping it lasts for life 🤞. He had his put in because a tumour had compressed his ventricles. The tumour has been removed, so it’s possible that if he had problems with the shunt they would take it out and not replace it.
