Hydrocephalus Awareness Month

Today is the twenty first day of Hydrocephalus Awareness Month and today I thought I share a video. Now this video is one I did from January of 2013. The video I present and share with you today is my senior project video. My senior project video called Normal On The Outside. Here is the video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=slezNrN6jLs Now I am sure some of you have already seen the video but for those of you who have not seen it, then I hope you enjoy it. I hope you learn from it. I'm not sharing this because I want views. No, the reason I am sharing it is because I want to help spread awareness. I want people to know they are not alone. I want people to learn more about why this month is important. I want people to know that September is Hydrocephalus Awareness Month and It Matters. I want people to know it matters to me and to others who are living with it. I want people to understand and know that people who live with it, can pass away from it and those who are living with Hydrocephalus can survive. I want people to understand that people who have hydrocephalus, just like me have to go through more surgeries than most people who have it. I want people to know and to understand that those living with Hydrocephalus have to go the hospital to get their shunt replaced. Do you know that shunts quit, malfunction and they can get infected. Hydrocephalus does not have a cure and the only treatment for it is brain surgery, which requires having a shunt put in. This month matters, people who live with Hydrocephalus matter. So many people do not know about Hydrocephalus and it is our job to educate those on what Hydrocephalus is. It's our job to teach people about Hydrocephalus, so that they will continue to want to learn about Hydrocephalus. I can not wait to share more with you tomorrow but until then please enjoy today's Awareness Month Post. I enjoy doing these posts because I feel like it's helping me tell others about what this month is truly about. I hope that these posts have inspired you to tell someone about Hydrocephalus and I hope it has inspired you to want to keep reading each day, so that you will be able to learn more about this month and why learning about Hydrocephalus is important. Last year or a few years or so, I went to a Rally For Medical Research in Washington D.C. and it was an amazing experience, now since I couldn't be there for it again this year, I feel like I am being an advocate by educating people and teaching people about Hydrocephalus. Hydrocephalus Matters. Awareness Matters. So again, I can't wait to share more tomorrow, but please remember why this month matters.
