Hydrocephalus Awareness Month

Today is the fifteenth day of Hydrocephalus Awareness Month and today I am going to tell you all about what I did today. Well first I went to go and work at the high school with Mrs. Buurma for Spanish Class and I introduced myself a little bit and then I talked about Hydrocephalus with my shunt bear I brought to school with me today. I guess you could say, that I educated some students for the sixth and seventh period classes on what Hydrocephalus is and even got to show them what a shunt looked like, by demonstrating it with my bear. It made feel good to teach them about that and I hope that they learned something from it because Hydrocephalus does matter. It matters to me and to millions of others who are living with it. Hydrocephalus doesn't have a cure and the only treatment for it is to have a shunt put in. More people besides me, go through more brain surgeries to have a new shunt put in, because the shunt tubing broke or the shunt stopped working, or malfunctioned, or quit. Shunts can quit, but we don't. It is important to learn about Hydrocephalus because not very many people know about it and it's our job to tell them about it. I enjoy doing these posts because they are educational and I am hoping it's teaching some of the people and all of you about Hydrocephalus, and I am hoping your learning something different each day. I hope that the people in the two classes that I helped out into today, learned something about Hydrocephalus. September is Hydrocephalus Awareness Month and it matters. Another thing I got to do today, before I told the second class what I did, was be part of a fire drill. I thought it was cool, because I haven't done one since I graduated high school. I can't wait to share more about Hydrocephalus with you tomorrow, but until then please enjoy today's post about Hydrocephalus. Also so many people can pass away from Hydrocephalus and many people survive. We need to tell others about Hydrocephalus and we need to make sure people know about it. I hope you have learned some things already and I hope it's inspired you to tell others about Hydrocephalus as well. This month is not only about Hydrocephalus but it's also about those who are living with Hydrocephalus as well. We also need to spread awareness and we need to make sure that others spread awareness too. Learning about Hydrocephalus Matters. Awareness Matters. So, I can't wait to share something different each day, with you. This month matters. Tell someone and now I hope that as I do these posts, you will continue to learn about it.
