Appreciate the suggestion that it could be something like Chiari, however she isn't really displaying those symptoms and she just turned 7 yo last Thursday. The easiest was to understand it is as an EXTREME case of vertigo. So much so that she will continually look for the horizon to stabilize herself. If her head is resting on something or someone then she is calm - if you pick her up, she will violently wiggle from side to side in attempt to gain stability. The neurologist specialist believes its directly related to the brain swell, so its all about how long it will take before that subsides. The poor little girl has to wait it out - while i continue to administer steroids and anti-nausea. She slept through her first night back home and her sister comes to check on her from time to time however overall she stays away i believe due to not understanding what is happening. I will accept all your prayers - can't tell you how much this little one means to me. Again, thanks for the suggestion - keep em coming anyone that may have experienced similar conditions.
