Hydrocephalus Awareness Month

Today is the fourth day of Hydrocephalus Awareness Month and today I wanted to tell you what I found on Google. The first question that I found from a photo on Google is this: Why a shunt? The answer is simply this: Fluid pressure can cause headaches, vision loss, nausea, vertigo, intracranial hemorrhage, unconsciousness, and death. Here is another thing from a photo I found on Google, in the year 2000, about $1 billion of U.S. health care expenses were related to hydrocephalus shunt procedures. So as you can see this month is important and this is why we need to tell others about Hydrocephalus. This month matters and the people living with Hydrocephalus matter. There are many even more than a thousand people who don't know what Hydrocephalus is. So by me doing these awareness posts each day, I am hoping that it will educate you and help you understand more about it, and that you will be able to learn from the posts that I do, and maybe even want to tell someone about Hydrocephalus. Hydrocephalus doesn't have a cure and the treatment is a shunt. I feel by doing these posts that I am not only educating people, but I am also helping them learn about Hydrocephalus, and I am also continuing to learn something new from these posts as well, because it will help me and it will help you to learn more about this condition each day. September is Hydrocephalus Awareness Month and it matters. I can not wait to share a new post with you tomorrow and as you read this and learn about what I have shared with you today, I hope that it encourages you to tell someone about Hydrocephalus, I hope it encourages you to tell people what this month is about, and I hope that you will want to spread awareness by supporting millions of people who are living with Hydrocephalus. Some people pass away, and some people can survive and continue to live with it. For those who survive, they are fortunate and for those who pass away from it, then that is who we should pray for, because any time anyone passes away from Hydrocephalus, it's sad, but that doesn't mean we can not help by comforting their family or helping them in a way. So today, as you read and think about what has been said, think of ways you can help spread awareness and think of some ways, you can help those who are living with Hydrocephalus.
