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.

That was sweet--they really have their home decorated for the holidays!! I to have a love/hate relationship with Christmas--it's just so stressful 90% of the time!! I'm glad that all of you were able to safely make the trip--it looks like it made them very happy to meet little Jamesie!
I saw your blog mentioned on Nienie and came here on Wednesday.
I have not left. I started at the beginning and finished today. I also finished most of the CaringBridge site.
I don't really have any words to add on here that you have not heard before.
But, please know, you have one one more follower who is praying along side you, your family, Praying with so many other strangers for Katherine's complete restoration.
It always strikes me at times like this. How big the world is but really how incredibly small it becomes when we all have one goal to strive for. The love of Jesus Christ.
Blessings, Misha
