As parents, we suffer when our children do. Gunner is a sweet and active toddler who is suffering from a complex Chiari malformation with a syrinx, a condition where the lower part of the brain presses into the spinal canal and disrupts the flow of spinal fluid. To help protect his spinal cord and relieve this pressure, he will undergo a posterior fossa decompression with laminectomy and duraplasty — a delicate procedure that creates more space for his brain and restores normal fluid movement. His recovery will be long and delicate, which is why support for the family matters so much. People want to help, and this page is a way for all of us to show up with love, meals, support, and practical help as they navigate the weeks and months ahead. Whether you're near or far, every act of care makes a difference. Thank you for being here for Gunner and surrounding his family with strength, comfort, and community.
