Today is the thirteenth day of Hydrocephalus Awareness Month and today I thought I would share this photo with you and because I felt like it was important to share with you. Millions of people are living with Hydrocephalus and it doesn't have a cure. The only treatment for it is a shunt. Here is the photo. This is the photo that I felt was important to share with you because it tells you a little bit more about Hydrocephalus. September is Hydrocephalus Awareness Month and It Matters. Awareness Matters. People like me who are living with Hydrocephalus Matter. We need to educate people on Hydrocephalus. We need to educate them because so many people don't know what Hydrocephalus is. If someone were to ask me or anyone else what Hydrocephalus stands for, I would tell them it stands for water on the brain. People who live with Hydrocephalus, can pass away from it. Many of the people who do live with it, can survive and for those who pass away, we should pray for their families. Many people have to go to the hospital to have their shunt replaced. So as you continue to learn about Hydrocephalus, I hope that you will want to continue to learn about it. I can not wait to share more with you tomorrow but until then please enjoy today's post with the facts that I have shared. I am happy to be doing these posts because it makes feel good to help people learn about the condition known as Hydrocephalus, so that they can understand what millions of people live with. It also makes feel good, because I feel like I am helping some learn more and more each day that I post. I hope that you're continuing to learn and I hope that these posts are helping you understand more. Awareness Matters and this month matters. I also hope its helped you understand what this month is truly about. Shunts can quit, but those living with Hydrocephalus don't. Hydrocephalus Awareness matters. We need to continue learn about Hydrocephalus and we need to spread awareness as well.
