photos - hydrocephalus surgeries - part 5

This baby has quite the receding hairline! Part of the hair was shaved for surgery. It will grow back soon.

You can see the separation of the skull bones caused by the increase of fluid build-up in the brain.

This mother was happy that her son had the opportunity for a surgery.

Some of the children had some post-op complications. This baby had some post-op fevers.

Children that continued to run fevers or develop post-op complications were transferred into the pediatrics unit of the hospital. The Miami Heat mascot is painted on the pediatrics room door. Miami Heat basketball players have raised funding for Project Medishare to continue helping the people of Haiti after the earthquake.
