Here is the image I was talking about earlier.  In my opinion, it clearly shows where the problem lies.  We met with our local neurologist last Wednesday and he said he can the issue as well.

What you are looking for is the black spot at the top of the spinal column. You can clearly see how the brain stem is being bent around this bone.  From any untrained eye, you can not tell if the bone is resting against the brain stem (basilar impression) or pressing into to (basliar invagination).  The two specialist that have concurred on the diagnosis say she has the later, the bone is in the brain stem, complicating any corrective surgery.
Just a short update today, nothing really to report on, but I did say I would put the image up here.
