Mothers Day will never be something I will look forward to again. It will hold a different meaning for me now. Ryan was diagnosed with chiari on that day. What started out as a normal day ended with a 3 month long battle of pain and suffering. Chiari came like a thief in the night and stole my precious boy...my joy...my happiness. This disease over the course of 12 weeks ravaged his body...his brain as he often told me 'had turned to mush'. As if that wasn't enough it stole his ability to walk and hold his head up.... swallow,or keep anything in his stomach including water. I sat day after day by his side and watched my son die a slow death. And to add insult to injury it inflicted on him the most excruciating pain you could ever imagine. I hate this thing called chiari! I despise it because it sucked the life out of my child. It hit him so fast and gave us no time to prepare for the worst possible outcome. I will forever dread Mother's Day. On the way to the hospital that day Ryan said ' Mom I'm sorry I ruined Mother's Day'.... Ryan you didn't ruin Mother's Day!....Chiari Malformation did. Ryan was the sweetest most kind hearted young man to have walked this earth. He didn't have to die! MORE DOCTORS NEED TO BE AWARE CHIARI CAN AND DOES KILL!
