Sweet. I love your educational sessions. A number of our neuro kiddos get ventriculostomies for the reasons you included... Did you know that the MDs can put in a pressure valve so that it acts like an externalized shunt rather than an EVD? We had a squirrelly teen with a developmental delay who didn't understand "do not move without calling your nurse" (even when we translated it into her language)... she got a valve.
