On November 1st, 2014 God handed over Maggie Eloise Fitzgerald to her mother (my niece) Ashley Fairchild Fitzgerald, her father Jared Fitzgerald, and to her two sisters and brother. Ashley and Jared are blessed beyond measure with four beautiful children. They are a family who live in Gods word each and every day. The Fitzgeralds journey with Dandy-Walker Syndrome began the same day as Maggie was born. Maggie is diagnosed with Dandy-Walker Syndrome. Dandy-Walker Syndrome is a congenital brain malformation involving the cerebellum (an area at the back of the brain that controls movement) and the fluid-filled spaces around it. The key features of this syndrome are an enlargement of the fourth ventricle (a small channel that allows fluid to flow freely between the upper and lower areas of the brain and spinal cord), a partial or complete absence of the area of the brain between the two cerebellar hemispheres (cerebellar vermis), and cyst formation near the lowest part of the skull. An increase in the size of the fluid spaces surrounding the brain as well as an increase in pressure may also be present. A surgical procedure called a shunt may be required to drain off excess fluid within the brain. This will reduce intracranial pressure and help control swelling.-ninds.nih.gov/disorders/dandywalker/dandywalker.htm Now that you know a little concerning Dandy-Walker Syndrome let me continue with who Maggie Eloise Fitzgerald is. Maggie is Gods creation just as her two sisters and brother are.
