Late last year, whilst freaking out about my own upcoming chiari surgery, I found the vlog of Delilah's surgery (and your channel). There I was, a 29yr old grown woman, letting my anxieties and fears about the unknown get the better of me by youtubing ACTUAL surgeries when I came across Delilah. I was immediately struck by her resilience and bravery. I thought "If this sweet little girl can face this thing head on, then surely I can pull myself together and do it too!" It wasn't easy and I've never known pain like it, but, taking inspiration from Delilah, I had the surgery. I am now fully recovered and I've never looked back. So happy "zipperversary" Delilah. I hope one day you might know just how much your story and your bravery has helped others just like you. And thank you Alyssa, for sharing your brave little girl's story with the world. Much love x

Speaking of strong, Alyssa you and Charles impressed me then and still impress me today. I'm sorry your back is so sore. I can certainly empathize with you. My daughter watched this with me and said "that's how scared I am when you go in for spine surgeries, mom". Dang near broke my heart. Anyways, what a fun vlog to watch. You and Charlie crack me up together. I love how he can always make you laugh. Your laugh is contagious, Alyssa. Hang in there Alyssa & Charlie. You are great parents. xo Heather🇨🇦

Hey Alyssa, has Delilah had DNA testing??? I know that sometimes with these more rare disorders doctors get focused on what they know about the patient rather than looking deeper...I have Ehlers Danlos Syndrome and am currently awaiting my MRI results to see if I have Chiari Malformation, I've just recently come to find out that they are what my neurologist called "sister disorders", and that anyone with Chiari should be tested for EDS and anyone with EDS should be tested for Chiari....this is only being told to me after getting my EDS diagnosis YEARS ago. I dunno why I'm only now receiving this information and why I'm only now being tested, so I figured that if I didn't know that you guys may not know either??? I hope you see this.
