Since the holidays we have been dealing with a syndrome called Mirizzi syndrome that our oldest daughter was diagnosed with and treated for. She is the older girl on this book cover. She was diagnosed with this beginning of February 2016. This refers to a common hepatic duct obstruction caused by an extrinsic compression from impacted stone in the gallbladder duct or Hartmann's pouch of the gallbladder. She was having some problems after college but she walked into the doctor's office with obstructive jaundice at this time, they could finally figure this out.
Treatment entailed 3 medical procedures and surgery to removed the infected gall bladder. All were under aesthetic and happen within an 8 week period of time. She is 27 years old and very happy it is over with and beginning to look for employment.

Definition
By Mayo
Your peripheral nervous system sends information from your brain and spinal cord (central nervous system) to the rest of your body. Peripheral neuropathy can result from traumatic injuries, infections, metabolic problems, inherited causes and exposure to toxins. One of the most common causes is diabetes mellitus.
Peripheral neuropathy, a result of damage to your peripheral nerves, often causes weakness, numbness and pain, usually in your hands and feet. It can also affect other areas of your body.
People with peripheral neuropathy generally describe the pain as stabbing or burning. Often, there's tingling. In many cases, symptoms improve, especially if caused by a treatable underlying condition. Medications can reduce the pain of peripheral neuropathy
Chloe weakness on her left upper back ,neck and face was first described by a neurologist when she was 9 months old. Removal of her wisdom teeth, this new medication and the use of the pain management system Tens device has greatly stabilized this condition. She continues to improve her stamina and get off medication not helping this condition. We hope she will soon be able to try a part time job.
Finding the right medication or treatment takes a lot of patience and time but it is nice when it all comes together.
