Re: Daughter

[Guest guest]

Well, I got the films from my daughter's MRI's. I have looked at them

over and over and I see a herniation. The reports were not completed

yet but I have seen enough of MRIs to think that I know what I am

looking at. I hope I am wrong but..... Right now I am scared and

confused. I hate the idea that I have past this horrible condition to

my daughter but it makes sense. She has epilepsy, had migraines since

age 3 and is very clumsy.

The sad thing is the first question she asked after the mri was " if I

have Chiari will I not be able to ride roller coasters any more? " I

didn't have an answer. She doesn't know I read the MRIs because since

I am not sure and have to wait for the doctor to read them.

(tomorrow) Please say a prayer that I am wrong.

Console

ACM 1 22 mm herniation
