(Watching "Nemo" before our next lap around the plane.)It was all preparation...
mine never even closed his eyes.

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.

Traveling at all these days is hard, regardless of having a baby to take care of or if you are just riding in the plane with one! And it was all in preparation. I guess most everything in our lives is preparing us for something that will happen later on.
Glad that you got through it!
Much love,
Desiree
Hope your travels went well! I recently flew out to California...it is a LONG flight! Can't imagine doing it with a baby!
Thank you so much for your writing, by the way. It touches me and so many other in so many ways.
You have inspired me to start my own blog...not sure how long it'll last, or how many people will actually read it...but if you ever have writer's block and need to read someone else's words: singtillthesongends.blogspot.com
God bless.
I pray for all of you every single day.
