Thank you for your response. We consulted the surgeon, who has referred us back to the hospital in which the procedure was done. So we're waiting for their response now. I appreciate your taking the time to answer.

However before you plan to fly consult the surgeon or any other neurologist regarding the affect on the shunt. Take care!
