Thank you for giving my family hope

I gave birth to my son on 7-7-06 , he was 16 weeks premature , he was 1lb 4oz ,and was of course diagnosed with several problems including hydrocepalus, they decided to keep an eye on it, and about 5 1/2 later was released home , but soon after retured to to hospital, that’s when they placed the VP shunt.

Now at one years old he is doing well, but, we are now concered about his well being of what problems that could accure with having the shunt, he is delayed with a lot of motion issue, like sitting up and crawling, His father and I know he may have these delays, but didn’t have any one to relate our concerns to, but after reading your stories, it encourages me that my son will have a chance live a very fullfilling life, thank you.
