Romneya's Chiari malformation

My brother Romneya is 6 years old. Two years ago Rome fell of a stone fireplace that was 6 feet tall and he fractured his skull. He had to go to the hospital and we thought that he was in a coma! He could of died but he was alright.

When they were x-raying his skull they saw something.They saw that he had a Chiari malformation.
A Chiari Malformation is a difference in the skull where the cerebellum blocks the spinal fluid flow.
This difference caused so much pain that his lymph nodes had scars on them from the pressure!

Eventually the neurosurgeons fixed this difference and every thing went as planned. He is still recovering but in time he will get better.
