Dear Mr Sohail

Thanks for your query.

Your daughter has received both surgeries at the appropriate time. She seems to be having neurogenic bladder, bowel due to problem in nerve supply to the bladder and intestine. THese can be helped, not completely cured. She willneed detailed testingof bladder to measure pressures, if high will need medications, and if low, will need clean intermittent catheteristion ( placement of tube to remove urine at intervals). She might require calipers to help her to walk, after detailed evaluation of her spinal cord defect

I find this answer helpful
