Kali, with obstructive hydrocephalus and Chiari malformation, enjoyed the most awe-inspiring beach trip. She was absolutely thrilled to swim, enjoy all the rides, and dive into fun games.
Thank you from Kali’s Family
“Thanks to the Sunshine Foundation, Kali was able to enjoy an AMAZING hotel at her beach dream trip! As a mom of a medically complex child, the days usually run together, and we are always on the go to doctors’ appointments. Because of Sunshine Foundation, we were able to just relax and enjoy each other’s company before school started in August. Thank ya’ll so much!”– Kali’s mom, Dannyel.
Kali’s Diagnosis
Kali is diagnosed with obstructive hydrocephalus and Chiari malformation. Obstructive Hydrocephalus occurs when the flow of Cerebrospinal fluid is blocked along one or more of the narrow pathways connecting the ventricles. Chiari malformations are structural malformations in the cerebellum, causing brain tissue to extend into the spinal canal.
