it hurts to see a child with hydrocephalus

it hurts to see a child with hydrocephalusMy heart broke after seeing a boy with hydrocephalus. The boy must be in deep pain and I know his mom is in deep pain as well. Seeing your child in that state is too difficult. Even if I am not yet a parent I can say it is really hard.

Hydrocephalus also known as Water on the brain is a medical condition where the cerebrospinal fluid accumulates and builds up in the brain. This causes the brain to swell and pressure to increase inside the skull, resulting in nerve damage, and progressive enlargement of the head, convulsion, and mental disability.

But, according to my research there is a Hydrocephalus treatment. But, most of these treatments are beyond the reach of common people especially in developing countries like ours. Sigh! The mother of that child could only rely on the help of donations from different organizations. Hopefully she’ll find one.
