On Thursday I will have a MRI on my neck. It is to determine if I have Syringomyelia. Syringomyelia can accompany Chiari Malformations. Syringomyelia is a condition that forms a pocket of spinal fluid that has collected inside the spinal cord, which is called Syrinx (see-rin-x). This pocket of fluid, like a long blister, is formed due to the herniated cebeller tonsils. The Syrinx obstructs the flow of spinal fluid and causes pressure on and disruption of the normal functions of the spinal nerves.
Syringomyelia can be present without Chiari Malformation. Chiari Malformation can be present without Syringomyelia. Chiari Malformation can be present with Syringomyelia. Sometimes a syrinx is not present, but if the Chiari is left untreated, it can form. Sometimes the syrinx, left untreated will remain the same, other times it will continue to grow and can cause scoliosis.
Tomorrow I will not be on the computer. I will be "fasting" from the Internet. I will be devoting that time to prayer that I do not have Syringomyelia. I again ask for your fervent prayers. They are affective!

Take comfort in knowing that SO many people are bringing the same request to our Father. Love you and praying for you daily.
Hil, you and Justin are so awesome! I am always amazed when I see the ones who I've known all their lives practically, grow into such godly, Christ-like adults! I just love you two to pieces and now, I can't wait to get that pleasure with Miss Juliet! She is so blessed by the heritage she has on both sides of her family...I love you, Melissa
We will be thinking of you tomorrow as you fast and pray, and you know you are always in our prayers...all 3 of you!!!
Love, Mama
