Hydrocephalus Awareness Month!

Just two weeks after being born, Wade Peter’s was diagnosed with hydrocephalus; a buildup of excess spinal fluid in the brain with an additional bleeding. Dr. Daniel Fulkerson, a pediatric surgeon with Beacon Medical Group, performed the initial surgery on Wade in Indianapolis when he was 15 days old. When Waded needed shunt replacement surgery in 2019, the family again turned to Dr. Fulkerson.“ He saved my son’s life,” said Tina. Today, as the youngest of five, mother, Tina, will tell you Wade’s energy tops them all.
