An MRI showed she has a severe Chiari malformation, a condition where brain tissue extends into the spinal canal.
“That’s what caused her tumble to be so severe,” Haley said. “They initially thought that she had a tumor on her spine, but she has what they call a Chiari malformation. And most people their whole lives, until they get to adulthood, don’t even know that they have those.”
“You just feel helpless. You kind of feel lost, and you want to do anything you can to help your child,” Haley said. “It’s devastating. It seems like you’re living in a nightmare, and I mean, even now how many days later, it doesn’t feel like you’ve woken up,” said Heather Hall, Piper’s aunt. “They are saying the Chiari malformation is much more common than we realize, and that without an MRI, you’ll walk around your whole life with it and not know you have it,” Hall said. “Life can change in the blink of an eye.”“We know that our God still works miracles every day, and we are leaning on His grace to get us through these times,” Hall said. “I feel like these prayers are working, and I feel like God hears our cries.
