photos - hydrocephalus - part 3

Claudine and her son have been staying at Coram Deo since the surgeries in May. She is from the Cote de Fer region. He developed post-surgery infection and seizures. His head circumference continued to increase and now he will be needing a 2nd surgery. This time the doctors decided to put in a shunt.
This young mother came with her baby who had a fever. It is sad to see the cases where the head circumference grows rapidly. The outcome for these children is not as good as the other children.
This proud father is holding his child. He is optimistic that with a surgery his son will be okay.
It is good to see fathers take interest in their hydrocephalus children. Many of them abandon their responsibility and leave the mother and child. Pray for this father as he helps to raise his child.
The hydrocephalus babies suffer and it is difficult for the mothers. Many times they say that they don't know how to stop their children from crying.
