...to those who have recently joined us.
A little background information:
On April 21, 2008, my daughter, Katherine Arnold Wolf, experienced a major AVM rupture in her cerebellum. A model, actor, and mother of a six-month old baby boy, she collapsed in her apartment at Pepperdine University, where her husband Jay was completing his last year of Law School. Against all rational odds, a brave surgeon at UCLA, Dr. Nestor Gonzalez, elected to perform an extremely difficult 16-hour-long surgery. She was not expected to live through the operation; the prognosis was that if she did, she would most likely remain in a coma or in a persistent vegetative state. Over half of her cerebellum was removed and 7 cranial nerves were damaged in the surgery to remove the AVM and hematoma in her brain. Her brain stem was completely engulfed in blood, the cerebellum had herniated into the spinal column , and there were multiple aneurysms.
But...
She squeezed the surgeon’s hand the first day.
Miracles still happen.
This blog is my journal of her ongoing recovery and the many lessons I am learning from it.
If you would like more information, you are welcome to read the “Journal” entries on our Caringbridge site:

We are very grateful for all of you who have chosen to accompany us on this strange journey and for those who continue to intercede for Katherine’s complete restoration.
Bless you, one and all.

Dear Katherine:
Your mother tells us she is reading our messages to you, so here's mine. Know that not only are we urging you on as we pray for you daily, but Jesus is walking each step with you and breathing each breath with you. He is sitting at the right hand of our father interceding for your health and your healing. He is all knowledge and wisdom, and all compassion and he loves you and baby James and Jason.
I pray that your joy may be complete in Him even though your road is long. You are blessing people throughout the world with your spirit of determination. And we know that all things work together for the good of those who love Him and are called according to his purpose. You definitely are called, Katherine Wolf! And you are justified and you are glorified. And nothing is able to separate you from His love. His hand is on you to deliver you.
