Baby Roona, who attracted worldwide attention due to her rare condition known as Hydrocephalus, is going back to her home.
Roona Begum, 21 months old, had such a condition that made her head to swell to a bigger size. Due to such a massive weight, Roona was not able to sit and walk and her life was also in risk.
It is said that five surgeries were carried out and her skull size got reduced from 94cm to 58cm. For now, she is set to be in a better condition and is ready to move back to her hometown Agartala.
It shall be noted that this was not the end of surgeries for Roona. It has been said so as doctors who have been treating her have affirmed that she would need another surgery after six months. The surgery, which is still to take place, will require doctors to remodel her skull as per Roona's body size.
Though Roona has undergone so many surgeries and her skull size has also drastically reduced, it has been found that she still requires support. Doctors were of the view that it will take months for Roona to walk without any sort of support.
