Hi Friends,
Just a note to let you know we're still around. I'm sorry I haven't posted in a while... 'technical difficulties'...but I hope to in the next day or so.
Thank you for waiting with us.
Love,
Kim

Welcome
...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.

I've got you on my reader, so whenever you do post, I'll be notified. Until then, I'll keep praying for you guys.
missed hearing from you, still praying for all of you everyday.
I've tried to reply several times but am rather challenged myself in this department. But I've decided to send a test message ...if this works I'll try again..
I hope your 'technical difficulties' are resolved soon.
Hi Kim,
My computer died this week, so I can empathize. I miss you more than you may know, but I know you are where you should be.
I love you,
Candy

Kim,
I have just read your incredible blog and my heart and prayers and thoughts go out to you and Brooks. The photos of Katherine show clearly the light that Kelly spoke of in her first postings. The light is still there in the more recent photo of you and Katherine together; it has not dimmed at all. As one of those who may never have known the "real" you, I appreciate all that you are revealing now. Rebecca Owens
