Did you know?
Hydrocephalus is the most common reason for brain surgery in children.
The Federal government spends less than $1 million per year on hydrocephalus related research.
This blog is to share with others our family's journey with hydrocephalus and hearing loss. We hope this blog gives hope and inspiration to families who may be facing the same diagnosis.

- Nola's Journey
- Nola Gracyn's journal is to help others keep up with our little miracle. She was born with congenital hydrocephalus and has had 3 surgeries as a result- shunt placement & 2 revisions. Nola was diagnosed with profound hearing loss in the Summer 2009, and had bi-lateral cochlear implant surgery on December 14. Nola was "turned on" January 6, 2010. Nothing will stop this spunky little thing! She amazes her Mommy & Daddy everyday and charms everyone she meets. We cannot imagine life without her!
