My daughter is 26 years old. Severe headachces -no quality of life-they overdrsined her brain 2 years ago and she has dearly suffered. they did ct after ct and always said shunt is working fine. Even with her head sunken in-finally she gave up with the debilitating pain and just went to bed. About 4 weeks ago they did a icp test and she had numbers that went from -13 and - 22. They put in a shunt assist devise and it is still killing her when she stands up. she wishes everyday GOD would take her. Please help and advise what we need to do. They are doing a partial shunt revision tomorrow and putting it in her chest...will this help her? if not does she have the right to ask them to take it out and let her go?
