This has given him cognitive deficits, When he was thirteen the shunt had some problems, and it was removed, he was sent home. Unfortunately, excessive cerebral-spino fluid was still being produced the pressure created by this hydrocephalus cause premanent damage to Alex's optic nerve rendering him blind.
