Chiari and Aneurysms Mood
Sunday, June 22, 2008 | A General Update story
I am writing this journal to open up and maybe be able to wrap my head around the last 6 months!!  I am a mother of 3 beautiful children. In January I went to the hospital ER for a headache and ended up finding out that I had a leaking aneurysm, and 2 smaller ones as well. During my hospital stay I was also diagnosed with Chiari. Talk about major shock. Have had one aneurysm coiled, observing the other 2 for growth. Now weighing the options for the Chiari surgery. Big fear of dying and leaving behind my babies.NS wants surgery for late summer, I want to wait til after Christmas. Any and all suggestions would be appreciated!! Thanks to all who read and reply!!!
