Hydrocephalus Awareness Month

Today is the second day of Hydrocephalus Awareness Month. I thought I would share a video about what a shunt is. This video will not only explain what a shunt is, but it will also explain  a little about what hydrocephalus is, and the person also talking in the video will also give you some more details and explain what can happen and show you some diagrams of what someone without Hydrocephalus and someone who has Hydrocephalus, of what the brain would look like. I am hoping that today's video will help you learn more about what this month is really about and why it's important we continue to learn about Hydrocephalus. September is Hydrocephalus Awareness Month and It Matters. I will be doing a post each day so that you can continue to learn more about Hydrocephalus. So many people, have no clue or idea what it is. What I mean by that is, if you were to go up to someone and ask them this question: Do you know what Hydrocephalus is or have you ever heard of a condition called Hydrocephalus? The answer for them would be this: No, and what is it? They would answer with no, and they would ask what it is, and that's where we would step in and tell them what millions of people like me are going through. People can pass away from Hydrocephalus and many others, each day all around us, even if they don't live in this state, are going through surgeries to have their shunt replaced, because of the shunt failing or malfunctioning. I read an article once from a Facebook page that also helps people with Hydrocephalus, and there was a girl who had 120, and soon to be her 121st brain surgery, and all I could think was I am very lucky that I don't have to go through that many. I mean if you think about it, those of us living with Hydrocephalus could have 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, how ever many surgeries and then there are those who could have more  than the numbers I had mentioned and those are the people we should pray for because I and others have been lucky enough to have only a few surgeries and the rest of the people living with Hydrocephalus have to go through more each day. Here is the link to the video and I hope you will learn from it today. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bHD8zYImKqA I can't wait to share more tomorrow with you, but for now please enjoy watching today's video, and learn about Hydrocephalus for the second day.
