I have multiple medical conditions due to a prenatal interventricular hemorrhage from my birth being stopped (hydrocephalus, hemiplegia cerebral palsy & visual cortex damage) I also have craniosynostosis from when my hydrocephalus was treated. I also was born with a right clubfoot which was repaired when I was 7 months old & that is when the craniosynostosis was diagnosed as well. Hydrocephalus is fatal if not treated properly. I had drains called shunts put in. My first one was put in at 20 days old. I had one shunt the first 2 years of my life & at least 10 surgeries related to that one until the second shunt was placed in 1992. my shunts now are 31 & 30 years old. They're causing a lot of pain & issues right now. I can barely leave my house due to the pain. Brain surgery is the only thing that can help now when the shunts break it's an emergency.
