prognosis

by barbara

 

I have a 92 year old distant relative who has been diagnosed with adult-onset hydrocephalus. He had a shunt inserted two weeks ago but has not improved and is now to be placed in a high care nursing facility since he is incontinent ,has poor memory and cannot walk without a frame. The hospital says that he cannot be rehabilitated any further. What can we do to help him? What might we expect to happen to him in the next few months and years?
