I hope everyone is managing to keep cool in the heat today! My children have all had an early finish today to try and get cool at home. With another hot day ahead of us tomorrow I thought I’d share some tips from shine on keeping cool, hydrated and signs of shunt malfunctions in people with hydrocephalus. Also being mindful that some medications can affect your ability to sweat leading to overheating.
This is my little Norah who has hydrocephalus and a VP shunt. She also takes medication for her secretions which can cause overheating. Feeling very thankful for her Tubie on days like this to keep her extra hydrated!
Stay safe and have a lovely weekend 💜☀️
