Hydrocephalus Awareness Month and Happy Birthday Grandma

Alright well before I tell you about the twenty fifth day of Hydrocephalus Awareness Month, I want to just take the time to wish my Grandma Pugh a happy birthday. So Happy Birthday Grandma, I love and miss you. I know you're in heaven and even though I wish you were here with us, I know you are in a better place. I know that I will see you along with grandpa and everyone else in Heaven again someday, but until that day comes, I wish you a great birthday in Heaven. You were special to me and to everyone else who knew you. I loved you and I know everyone else who knew you, did too. I will always remember the good times and happy times and even special times that you and I had. Today is the twenty fifth day of Hydrocephalus Awareness Month and today I want to share how people living with Hydrocephalus can go through more brain surgeries than most. People who live with Hydrocephalus have to go through more brain surgeries than most who live with it. Why you may ask. Well because those who have Hydrocephalus, end up going to the hospital because they need to go to the hospital, to have their shunt replaced. Shunts can malfunction, they can get infections, they quit, or may break. The difference between all of that is, the people who have Hydrocephalus don't. Shunts do, but we don't. We don't give up and we certainly don't quit. More and more people have more shunt replacement surgeries than birthdays. There is no cure for Hydrocephalus and the only treatment for it is brain surgery which requires a shunt. September is Hydrocephalus Awareness Month and It Matters. Awareness Matters. People living with Hydrocephalus Matter. Hydrocephalus Matters. I enjoy being an advocate and educating those on Hydrocephalus because I feel as though I am helping someone learn about Hydrocephalus. I feel like I am helping those learn about Hydrocephalus and why it matters to tell people about it. I am hoping that you are learning something different about Hydrocephalus each day that I have been doing these posts. I hope that these posts have inspired you and encouraged you to tell someone about why this month is important. Hydrocephalus Always Matters. People living with Hydrocephalus just like me Matter. Awareness Matters. This Month Matters. I can not wait to share more with you tomorrow but until then please enjoy today's Hydrocephalus Awareness Post. I also hope that you will continue to learn more and more each day. I hope that you will want to continue to learn more on why this month is important.
