Sincerly
Ok so soon after she got well she should be adjusted to 110
Dear Dr.Mitra
Your mother response is so kind, in this letter I would like to inform you that the minimum adviced pressure should not be inferior to 105 mmH2O.
Be patient to meet her best results after around 3 months from our level fixation. This is cardinal to know that the brain of a woman in her age will positively answer some time after your full care with an extreme slugishness.
I can not promise you that she will speak fluently again ! but interestingly she will regain her gait.
The cause of this state is probably a frequent change in the CSF pressure.
Two very important direction you should be tight to; control the Sodium (and less strict the Potassium) levels, if you find any disturbance start to correct on a basis of coorection in serum means change in interstitium after around 5-7 days in the case of sodium (normal serum level 135-145 is found to be 121-129 in electro interstitial scan)
Point 2: keep her in her initial environment, I mean in her room with her colors and atmosphere, because that will help us more during the reconvalescence period.
And if you accept my last suggestion about her feeding; try to keep her far from drinking liquids (better solid food for the next month), an intravenous hydration is my preferable way of substituting. So you can add 1 ampoule calcium gluconate, vitamin B complex, or even sodium every second days during six-12 hours.
tolterodine tartrate or oxybutynin are very supportative for the urinary incontinence
Please substitute her with: Vimpozine, Citicholine, Caffeine, Olmifon. Start with whatever you find in your country.
And please google out my contact to prevent conflict of interest, and thank you for your trust and your confidence. Always welcome.

Respected Sir,
With reference to your mail in neurosurgery forum dated.20/09/09 I am really thankful to you Sir for your quick response.I am glad to inform you that I have reduced the pressure of my mother to 110 on 13/09/09 as per your valuable advice in your earlier reply through neurosurgery forum dated. 31/08/09. I am also glad to inform you that my mother is improving in respect of alertness and strength and she is able to sit with support but she is sleepy after sitting for a short period. But at present she is unable to speak and stand and also having urinary incontinence with difficulty in swallowing water (but able to swallow hot milk and tea).So I request you for your valuable advice regarding my mother whether to reduce the pressure setting further or anything special you like to advice in this case.
Hope you will again show me your kind gesture and advice me for my mother further so that she can speak and stand.I also request you to kindly send me your contact number for better communication in future.
Eagerly waiting for your early reply.
Thanking You.
