Hydrocephalus Awareness Month

Today is September 1st, which means it is the first official day of Hydrocephalus Awareness Month. Hydrocephalus Awareness Month is something people need to know and learn about. So many people like me, are living with Hydrocephalus and there is not a cure for Hydrocephalus. The only treatment is a shunt. Why Hydrocephalus Awareness Month is important to me. Hydrocephalus Awareness Month is important to me because, I feel like I need to help by educating those who don't know what Hydrocephalus is, by trying to help them understand what it is. There are so many people who go through more brain surgeries for a shunt, because of the shunt failing. There are also many people who live with Hydrocephalus, that what most people don't understand is that you can pass away from Hydrocephalus. I am thankful that I don't have to go through shunt surgery or have to worry about what others who have Hydrocephalus had to go through or have been through. Learning about Hydrocephalus is very important because there are people who don't know what it is. September is Hydrocephalus Awareness Month and it matters. It matters to me and it matters to everyone else who is living with it. I like many others was born with Hydrocephalus and do you know that there are different types of Hydrocephalus. One of different types of Hydrocephalus is, Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus. Kids, teenagers, just don't have Hydrocephalus, adults have it too. Some adults have Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus, and let us not forget that some babies, not all but some of them can be diagnosed with Hydrocephalus after they are born. It is very important that we learn more about this, during this month and basically every day, because the more people learn about it, the more people will understand what I and so many others are going through. I hope that you will continue to learn something, each day, because I will be doing another post about Hydrocephalus each day. So as it is awareness month, I hope you will learn about it and I hope from what I post differently each day, will help you learn more, of what this month is really all about.
