I wrote a blog about hydrocephalus and then today while perusing the news I found a story about a texas baby named baby Klaus. He is 11 months old and has severe hydrocephalus. For some reason no neurosurgeons would help this family and now his head has swollen 130% larger than it should!
Finally a physician has stepped in to help this poor baby and so far since installing a shunt, his head has shrunk 12 inches.
It is tragic, they fear he may be blind, deaf and disabled, but as the dr poignantly says in the video at the bottom of the news story, you never give up on a babies brain!
