hello greetings from Philippines!, sounds we have same problem with my dad. He has Hydrocephalus with TB Meningitis and underwent VP Shunting last December. Like your husband, my dad also wasn't able to walk after hospitalized but he could able to talk though his memory wasn't fully recovered yet, can ate on his own and dress by himself but after a month seems his body got tired. Please don't forced his body to move yet just wait until his body will recover. My father was having relapse by that time of January, and we were extremely afraid if there's something wrong with his VP shunting since he was fallen into sleep all day and forgot to eat due to his difficulty of waking up. we confine him again in the hospital, having a ct scan to check the shunt but all was normal. Up to this time my father still bedridden but we see improvements so far. He was having a speech loss this time but we know that he can hear and understand us. Just keep on praying and have a long patience that this problem will end sooner in God's time.
