Hello, My granddaughter was just diagnosed with tetherd cord syndrome. She is 4 years old and scheduled to have surgery next week. She doesn t have a lot of the symptons but does have some. her behavior is terrible. She is not a mean spitited child but I can only say her behavior is less than desired. Can this be related to the tethered cord syndrome? She cna be really sweet and then it s almost like something clicks and she get s very bad. Any ideas?
