Hydrocephalus Awareness Month Post

Today is the eighteenth day of Hydrocephalus Awareness Month and before I share anything like a quote, photo, or video with all of you, I want to share what I'm feeling. I want to share that first because I feel like it's important. I watch videos of two people who have autism, and then I see this other video and multiple videos who have a little girl who has gone through so much, and when I see this and I look at how much these three people from different states, and how much their life is like, I know I am wonderfully made, a child of the one true king, blessed, to not have a lot of the severity of their conditions, because some of can speak but some not. When you think of that you have to wonder how is it possible that somebody who has autism can't speak hardly at all? How is it possible for a child to have cancer? Well, when we don't have the answers to these types of questions, then we have to know and trust that God made us differently and uniquely in our ways, and because He made us that way, we have to also know that He has a plan and purpose for our lives and nothing will change that. I would like to now share a video on Hydrocephalus. https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=Hydrocephalus . I hope that as you watch the video you will learn from it and be educated. I would like to now share a photo that shows a before and after photo of a shunt. Here is the photo and as you can see that before the shunt is placed, there is the extra cerebal spinal fluid otherwise known as CSF. Now if you look at the after photo, you'll see that there is less of that, which means that the shunt is doing it's job to help someone who is living with Hydrocephalus not have so much fluid on their brain. Hydrocephalus is so important to learn and be educated that I hope people will want to continue to learn about this topic. I want them to learn and see why it's important to me. I would now like to share a quote with all of you.Here is the quote. I hope that you will continue to learn and be educated this month because September is Hydrocephalus Awareness Month and It Matters to me and to others living with Hydrocephalus. Hydrocephalus is not curable but it is treatable. The treatment for it requires a shunt, which then requires brain surgery for it to be put in.Image result for hydrocephalus quotesImage result for hydrocephalus pictures
