C.,
While I do not know anything about agenesis of the corpus callosum, but I do know quite a bit about hydrocephalus.
My son was born 4 weeks premature and had 2 IVHs (Intraventricular hemorrhages) 14 hours after birth resulting in seizures where his breathing would stop and then developed hydrocephalus when he was 10 days old and had brain surgery (at Johns Hopkins) when he was 14 days old to have a shunt put in. That is the short version. What we went thru in those first few hours, days & months was excruciatingly difficult - especially trying to keep all the stress and uncertainty from our then almost 4 and almost 6-year old daughters who just wanted to know why their brother was not home from the hospital.
The doctors had originally told us that he had grade 3 & 4 bleeds and the prognosis was anywhere from normal to CP, mental delays, paralysis or even death - my husband Googled way too much and he was really worried about the long-term prognosis. I just got myself thru every day believing that God had a reason for what my son (and family) was going thru. Once we got the the Pediatric Neurologists and Neurosurgery specialists at Johns Hopkins, we found out that he had grade 1 & 2 bleeds and his long-term prognosis was better, but still not "normal". Our little has one defied the odds and is now a normal, rambunctious 17 month old.
If you would like to talk or would like information on Pediatric Neurologists/Neurosurgeons, please feel free to contact me directly. I will be praying for you and your family, please let us know how it works out.
