Hi, I’m Kelsey. I have two beautiful little girls, Kali and Rylin, and also my wonderful husband. My oldest daughter, Kali (8), has been recently diagnosed with Chiari malformation. I also have it but had surgery. Kali is scheduled for brain surgery on March 16. They are removing several discs in her neck and the Chiari malformation.

We absolutely hate asking for anything, but if you can find it in your heart, it would be so very much appreciated. We have a long stay ahead of us after surgery. My husband won’t be working and will be back and forth from the hospital during her stay, then appointments and testing after we are discharged.
