Mary--

I am sorry to hear of your husband multiple health problems. At 59, he is still a young man and I read his story with sadness. I have hydrocephalus too, but mine is congenital, diagnosed at age 39. I just want to wish your husband and you the very best, and let you know that he will be in my prayers.
