My son was found to have danny walker syndrome when he was 5 months old .. 27 years ago he had his cyst removed and had a shunt put in .. Thankfully there was no Internet back then , I had to go on what the docs told me .. Which wasn't much to be honest , things weren't easy for us he started having fits when he was 3 was in and out of hospital for years with blockers shunts or infections .. I tried to give him a normal a life as possible though contact sports and such were out of the question .. He had a mild stock when he was 13 but thankfully completly recovered he has some memory problems and gets agitated at times , done well in school and went on to be a chef ... I'm finding now that he slurs his words quite badly at times and I can't make out what he's saying but the doctors aren't concerned ... Can't find anything on any web sites to help me ... Would love to hear from any adults sharing similar issues. Thanks maria
