photos - hydrocephalus - part 4

This young baby has the opportunity for surgery before the head circumference has increased much. The earlier the better for these children.
This mother has taken the team to braid her baby's hair to see the doctor.
Some of the mothers are very young.
This mother is smiling down at her child. The mothers have hope for a better life for their children.
Some mothers are discouraged with having a hydrocephalus child and they make the decision to abandon them. This child was abandoned by the family by the cat scan machine. The mother said that she was stepping out to buy something to drink and never came back. The hospital looked after the baby until an orphanage could be found. This baby was placed after a couple of weeks.
