Here is a topic I stumbled upon. Have you checked your child's shoes or it may be yours. You should notice one of the heels to be more worn down. Which is usually the opposite side of your shunt.

My shunt is on the right side which makes your leftside weaker as well as my left eye. On my bad days I will walk slower (I TRY) This isn't the case for everyone as everyone is unique. How many will be checking now. I like to receive shunted feedback on your results. 🙂 - Hydropioneer
