The day of results-December 6th & 7th

It all started with a migraine that seemed to linger for days. Until one night we decided to go out for dinner and the migraine started to escalate to the point that I could not open my left eye and the pain was so intense that I ended up screaming in the floor board of our truck! My husband tried everything to get me to calm down (due to the fact I was frightening the kids), I ended up getting sick to my stomach but I roughed the car ride home.

The next morning we decided it was best to call the doctor to get some more migraine medicine and to get checked out, she had me come in within the hour and decided that a MRI was a must (it was scheduled for the next day)

On December 7th 2010, the kids and I drove to the MRI clinic for my scan. Yes, I said with the kids!! Thankfully I got a phone call from my mother saying she had a feeling to call me, that she knew I needed a sitter(she came and picked up the kids)! Thank you!! Once inside the building, the scan started and lasted about 45 minutes, in those 45 minutes I felt like my head would explode and my eyes started to shift uncontrollably for a couple minutes! Scariest thing I have ever felt not to be in control of my own body! I think that's when I knew something wasn't quite right! I had expected the doctor to find nothing as they had in all my other scans within the past years, but that wasn't it. I received a phone call saying that they did indeed find something they called it Arnold Chiari Malformation. This would be the beginning to a very new part of my life! This was the day everything changed!
