2 Brain surgeries with Tumor and Syrinx

Hi my name is Emily, I am 26 years young. Recently the past few months I have had a lot of medical issues. It all started when my left arm went completely numb and causing me tremendous neck pain. I have seen a specialist in Boston out of pocket due to my insurance not covering it. I saw the surgeon last week and was told that I have chiari malformation. the Chiari malformation is putting pressure on the brainstem and the spinal cord. I will need to have brain surgery in other words where they will have to remove the back of my skull and then patch it up once it is removed. I have a family of five and with not being able to work or provide, my husband has been taking work off to help me with everyday things such as getting dressed, making food, etc. It's time I put my pride aside and ask for help. I also have Facebook pay. If you can't afford to help, a prayer goes a long way. Thankyou for taking the time to read this.

March- may of 2024,

I had two brain surgeries within February and March. The first surgery became infected on the incision and needed a second brain surgery called revision of the incision. I'm re-learning how to get all my nerve endings back in motion including my arms and legs, head shoulders and neck. I suffer from chiari malformation type 1 with syringmelia which is a large syrinx on my spine. That has lead to many complications including walking issues, and they found a small brain tumor that was shrunken half way down since surgery . All three things are so hard on the body because the brain stem is being pressed on as well as the syrinx. Due to complications within surgery I have had to use a walker and a cane. Please keep me and my family in your prayers as it'll be a full year for recovery. The pulsating all throughout my body along with the head pressure is my most difficult complications at this time. Thankyou for reading my story and I hope it helps anyone with these terrible conditions. You are not alone. ❤️❤️‍
