My son, now 17, had a brain condition called CHIARI. The condition limits the flow of fluids from the spine to the brain and vice versa. That restricted flow causes severe headaches and other debilitating conditions.
"February 24,2014 we walked into a hospital to have a procedure done to relieve pressure in my sons brain. All the way there I wanted to turn around and go home. I couldn't breathe. How can I trust someone to cut on my child's brain and remove part if his skull..." That was part of a painful post made by Espen's mother on the Facebook page created to document his journey through this.
Many people that have this condition never find relief. We are so blessed that Espen has not only found relief (mostly) but has chosen a life of adventure and pursuing something such as Life Guarding where he can be of service to others.
The Facebook page sits mostly without updates these days, but if you are interested in checking out past posts here's the link: https://www.facebook.com/Espens-Chiari-Journey-634744523245729/
