My Husband, 82 Years Old, Is Suffering From Hydrocephalus. We

My husband, 82 years old, is suffering from Hydrocephalus. We live in Santa Fe, NM. However, we contacted a neurosurgeon in Seattle, WA (Swedish Hospital) last year, as we used to live in Seattle. Took tests, but were told that my husband between the DATscan one day and the next didn't show much difference in order to have the shunt on the brain, we had hoped would help him. Now, 8 months later, I have noticed deterioration in both memory and walking. My husband, Robert (Bob) Mann, is shuffling along with a cane, and very slowly.

Please advise if anything can be done for him: Wife, Lena Mann; YYYY@YYYY
