My name is Jessica McNeil(Pettit). For several months I was experiencing extreme head pain. I went and seen my neurologist and was diagnosed with migraines. My neurologist did order MRIs of my head, brain and neck as well and referred me to see a neurosurgeon. On June 1, 2025 I went to Bay Medical due to vomiting and severe head pain. They did a CT scan and said I had fluid and pressure on my brain and discharged me and told me to follow up with my neurosurgeon. I went home dealt with the pain until I seen my neurosurgeon on June 4, 2025. He looked at the CT and ordered Lumbar puncture to check the pressure and referred me to an Optometrist to check the pressure behind my eyes( never got to schedule those appointments). I left his office that morning and about an hour later I began to vomit and my head felt like it was going crush. Once I could get myself together I went to HCA Gulf Coast Hospital. They also did a CT scan where they seen alarming conditions. I was sent for a MRI where they found a condition Chiari malformation and hydrocephalus. I was admitted. I under went brain surgery on June 6, 2025 where I remained in the ICU until June 11, 2025 before moving to the second floor until June 13, 2025 and being discharged.
