Yes, my husband had shunt surgery in late November 2025 and had a seizure on 12/31/25 which put him in the hospital with no memory of what happened nor of the following 4 days in the ER and ICU. He’s currently in a skilled nursing facility for rehab. He has very poor balance and has trouble walking even with a walker.
What was your experience, and are you better now?

Dear Ortina2033, I’m so sorry. I hope he is making progress. I was inquiring for my adult daughter who was diagnosed with epilepsy at age 1 1/2. She was recently diagnosed with NPH and has had all the tests including the lumbar puncture. She will be seeing a neurosurgeon soon and we’re trying to get as much info as we can about the possibility of increased seizures with a shunt. Did your husband have seizures before getting the shunt? Have the seizures stopped or does he have to continue with medication?
Thank you for any info you can provide.
