I'm not a doctor and don't at all want to pretend to presume I can understand for sure what would or wouldn't be helpful. And I'm not assuming you need help--but I just thought something I know might be helpful somehow for your daughter and you.

Certain type of yoga breathing exercises (pranayama), as a result of involving contracting muscles in the body while breathing, help to pump CS fluid through its "ventricles", as well as to move lymph around. I have no idea how a shunt works, or would interact with these exercises, but as a result of the shunt intervention I'm worried these exercises may be dangerous to your daughter. At the same time, I consider they may also be helpful, by perhaps helping to regulate pressures, or assist training the body to improve its ability to do so, or encourage circulation of the CSF and lymph. Stuff like this might be something useful to explore for you. Have a good day!
