September is AVM Awareness month. This is my daughter Jenna. She is 15, we live with the affects/effects of a ruptured AVM, everyday. Jenna has always had migraines. I took her to the doctor and it was dismissed as nothing. Hydrate more, maybe when she hits puberty they will go away, you have migraines, so maybe shell just have them too. I had never in my wildest dreams thought of a possible aneurysm. It wasnt until later that I found out that a simple scan, could have detected it. Everyone has heard of MRIs, this scan shows organs, an MRA, shows arterys. Another sign in children, is chronic nosebleeds. Sometimes when there is an AVM, there is also one in the blood vessels of the nose. Thank You to everyone who has been a part of our journey, and who continues to be. Our love for you is unmatched. The ribbon for aneurysm or AVM is burgundy, I ask that even if its only for a day please change your profile picture. In support of Jenna, our family, and all of the other families who have loved ones whos lives changed in an instant. We fight for the ones that did not make it, and spread awareness to stop this invisible life taker. Thank you, The Naylor Family
