Luke Allen

(back in January) our sweet nephew Luke( Tyson's son) is 3.5 and started to complain real bad about the room spinning and being sick and not feeling well. they took him in the get checked out and after a couple weeks of lots of exams he was diagnosed with cerebellar tonsillar ectopia. he actually had a pretty significant malformation of it. with in another week or two he was scheduled for surgery. it was pretty scary being he was so little and young to be having a major head operation. they operated from mid back of head down to the bottom of his neck. he had a hard time after surgery and had to stay 6 days due to his pain and not being able to keep food down. Luke also had a couple of tough weeks recovery at home but he is doing really well now and running around with all the other boys again.
 above is pictures the Dr. took during the surgery and below is when he were finally able to go and visit him. he was so sad looking in his huge bed and not able to move his head/neck at all.
so grateful they were able to discover why he was so sick and hopefully have fixed it. We love our Lukey and happy he is healthy again.
