Hydrocephalus Awareness Month

Today is the twentieth day of Hydrocephalus Awareness Month and today I thought I would share why learning about Hydrocephalus is important. First learning about Hydrocephalus is important because people who don't know have Hydrocephalus and don't know what Hydrocephalus is, well that's where we come in by educating them and telling them what it is. Second learning about Hydrocephalus is important because people who have Hydrocephalus can pass away from Hydrocephalus and those living with it can survive. Third learning about Hydrocephalus is important because Hydrocephalus doesn't have a cure and the only treatment for it is brain surgery, which requires a shunt. Fourth learning about Hydrocephalus is important because shunts can quit, malfunction, and they can also get infected. The shunt may do all those things, but we don't quit or give up. Finally the fifth, learning about Hydrocephalus is important because people who are living with it can also have these things called seizures. Many people who are like me that have seizures, can be caused by many different things. One of the things that can cause seizures are, not enough sleep. A second thing that can cause seizures, is not staying hydrated. A third thing that can cause seizures is strobe lights. Hydrocephalus Matters. Awareness Matters. People like me who are living with Hydrocephalus Matters. September is Hydrocephalus Awareness Month and it Matters. I enjoy helping people learn about Hydrocephalus because it makes me feel good. I also enjoy doing these posts because I feel like I am making a difference by educating those who don't know about Hydrocephalus, learn about Hydrocephalus. I hope you are also learning something new each day from the posts that I do, because I want to be able to help spread awareness by helping others learn about why this month is really important. Millions of people who are like me who live with Hydrocephalus, end up in the hospital because they have to have their shunt replaced. Those who have to have their shunt replaced or pass away from it, are the people we should pray for. Do you know that many people who are living with Hydrocephalus, go through more surgeries than most people who have Hydrocephalus do. We should pray for those who have to go through more surgeries. I can't wait to share more with you tomorrow, but until then please enjoy today's post.
