a new update

The doctors were able to remove all of the AVM from Katherine's brain!! Not only that, but she raised up her hand and wiggled her fingers, and tried to take out her feeding tube - which leads them to believe that it was bothering her, so her swallow reflex is not affected by the surgery which is one thing they were worried about. Also, she was able to wiggle all ten toes on demand more than once. She is still in a medically induced coma for the next 35 ish hours. But, the good news is she is NOT paralyzed, as she has been moving her extremities.

Her baby boy is taking a bottle like a champ (mom was breastfeeding), and seems to be holding up quite well regardless of all of the stress.

This situation is not resolved, and Katherine still has a long road ahead. Please continue to pray.

Thanks to everyone who e-mailed to let us know you were praying. For the next couple of days there will be a prayer meeting here at 7 am and 5 pm pacific time. If you can join us then, please do! Otherwise, any time you think of it, lift up a prayer. It is working. God is good.

Update on our friend...

Our friend Katherine underwent emergency brain surgery last night. It was supposed to last 6-8 hours, and it ended up lasting 12 hours due to some ruptures that apparently happened during the surgery. To our understanding, Katherine suffered from a condition called AVM that she was unaware of. She is currently in ICU, and they are not aware yet (to our knowledge) what damage there is. She is in a coma, though we don't know if it is medically induced or not.

Katherine's husband, Jay, is in Law School with Travis...and is due to graduate on May 16 with Travis. They have a 6 month old baby named James.

Please continue to pray for the Wolf family. If any of you have facebook, you can join a group called "pray for Katherine Arnold Wolf".

We will update as we know more. Thanks everyone!
