I lost my dad when he was 59 to a massive heart attack. That was 21 years ago and I still miss him terribly. Please don't blame yourself for your Mom's death, though. You're right when you say that she's in a better place and how wonderful that she's been able to communicate with you even after she's passed! I will send good thoughts your way, that you'll be able to "move on" and start enjoying Thanksgiving again. Maybe you could look at the Thanksgiving festivities as a tribute to your Mom...? Thanks for adding me to the healing list -- I haven't had a migraine since you added me. Blessings, -Lisa Shelia,

That is devastating. I feel for you, I really do. But, as I was reading your blog, and you went on about Thanksgiving being your moms favorite holiday, and it's hard for you to celebrate it. (I understand your point) Maybe you should "look" at it differently. Thanksgiving was your moms favorite holiday, why not celebrate it and in a way you will be celebrating your moms life. She enjoyed Thanksgiving and so should you. I understand the last Thanksgiving with her was hard, but I bet all the Thanksgivings before that were great ones! Maybe celebrating Thanksgiving and putting a positive outlook on it, will fill that "void". Celebrate for your mom, she loved Thanksgiving, and I bet she wants you to enjoy it too! Well, I hope you participate in it this year, I know it will probably be hard for you, but atleast try for your mom. No matter, what you do...I will still support you! You are an AMAZING woman! Love, Natasha Oh Sheila, I am so sorry for your loss. That is devastating. I feel for you, I really do.

I cannot believe it but that is EXACTLY what happened to my mother and she died on Christmas day 1977. The same exact thing the flu, heart attacks, wanting to be there for the hiloday, etc. I think you are just the most wonderful, gifted person and I look forward to meeting you in December. Madalyn Sheila,

I just heard back from her Endocrinologist and she told me that my daughter showed signs of a crowding around her brain stem and spinal cord which after lots of research, I came across your blog. Eerily, my daughter's name is Kelly as well. She is seeing the Pediatric Neurologist on Monday morning to go over the MRI. I was just wondering if you could give some information to a very scared and concerned parent. She has been through so much in the last 3 years of her life. She was diagnosed with ADHD when she was 6, this year she has been seeing the Endocrinologist for her small stature, now with a MRI this shows up with no symptoms. In my 5th month of pregnancy, I found out she may have neural tube defect which later on came back okay. I had a very difficult labor and delivery with Kelly. She was a large baby and she had shoulder dystocia. At this point, I just want to choke every doctor I see, you can probably imagine. I just need someone to talk to about this who has been through it. Any advice you can give would really ease my heart at this moment. Thanks a million for posting this blog!

I had never heard of ACM before that. He developed what was labelled initially as the worst migraine possible, and for over 2 months was in constant torment. Finally we got a referral to a pediatric neurosurgeon that had co-written the book on the surgery. (I have forgotten her name.)She ordered a "flow" MRI which, when she showed it to me, looked as though someone had drawn one line with a Magic Marker and the other with a very sharp pencil. She did the surgery a few days later, and now he lives a mostly normal life. He has ADD, mild tremors, and has to live with the knowledge that he can never play active sports(he would love to train in martial arts) or go into the military due to the fact that the bone that was removed from the back of his skull left him with the vulnerability that if he got hit hard in the back of the head it would probably kill him. (They did put in the graft you mentioned.) Even so, he is a sophomore in college, trying for a career as a theatre technician.
