Chiari Malformation

 

Welcome to our Chiari Malformation site.  We are hoping to educate other's on the condition called Chiari Malformation.  Please explore our site and leave a comment in the Guest Book.  Feel free to add us as your friends (under Mom).  We appreciate all the support we have and look forward to supporting others effected with Chiari.  Matthew was decompressed in January 2007.  Since then our family has participated in several Chiari events.  Educating others may lead to more doctors realizing what Chiari is and diagnosing people sooner.  With education we would greatly appreciate more funding for Chiari research.  Chiari organizations need more funding for more research to answer all of our questions. 

There are so many unanswered questions with Chiari Malformation.  Together let's petition our State Government and State Health Departments to issue and recognize September as Chiari Malformation Awareness Month.  I am sure you can find other's in your state to help you persuade your State Health Dept. and your Governor to issue September as Chiari Awareness month in your state.  The more awareness and research we obtain the better our outcomes are!! 

Thank you,

Merideth & Matthew
