Hydrocephalus Awareness Month

Today is the sixth day of Hydrocephalus Awareness Month and today I wanted to share a picture of people with normal ventricle's looks like and what people with Hydrocephalus who have enlarged ventricle's looks like. Hydrocephalus stands for water on the brain. It doesn't have a cure and the only treatment is to have a shunt put in. Shunts can malfunction, they can quit, and the shunt tubing can break. Shunts may quit, but we don't. Millions of people living with Hydrocephalus have to go through more surgeries for a new shunt or end up in the hospital because something might be wrong with their shunt. For the people who don't have to always go through that, we can be fortunate and lucky that we don't have to go through that everyday. Some people can pass away from Hydrocephalus and some people don't. For the people don't and survive then we should pray for the families who have lost a loved one from this condition. September is Hydrocephalus Awareness Month and it matters. It's important that we learn about Hydrocephalus this month, because so many people don't even know what it is and it's our job to tell others about Hydrocephalus. It's our job to help spread awareness. Here is the photo. I hope as you look at the picture and see the difference someone who has Hydrocephalus and someone who doesn't makes a difference. I hope as I continue to do these posts that it will help educate you and want you to continue to learn more about it each day. September is Hydrocephalus Awareness Month and It Matters to me and to millions of others. I can't wait to share something different tomorrow, but until then please enjoy the photo and tell someone about what millions of people like me, are living with each day. Help spread awareness too.
