i am the mother of a 10 year old child with hydro and i am "convinced" of many
things associated with the hydro and her activities of everyday life. The drs
told me nothing was going to be affected when she was a baby but i also
experience balance problems, being sensitive with her emotions, her taking
forever to finish a task because she is easily distracted. Oh how i love her and
all her little actions it makes her so who she is. As far as what shes gonna do
when she grows up its a toss up between a chef and a judge. We can all just
chat with eachother to find out how "identical" our lives are because the
healthcare proffesionals are pretty much clueless.
