Holly's 4th Surgery

Holly is having surgery again for the 4th time tomorrow morning at 9:30 am. The doctors have been able to shrink the mass by 70% so far with the other three surgeries. Her conditions is called Arteriovenous malformation and you can click on that link if you'd like to read more about it. This time she will be awake because they are getting into more serious blood vessels and if she starts to lose her vision during the embolization tomorrow they want her to be able to tell them. She has already lost some of her perifial vision and is still having problems with her short term memory.

No one is able to go down and help this time so they are going to keep Zachary out of school tomorrow and Brandon is going to drop Holly off at the hospital and then be at home taking care of the three kids.

Please keep Holly in your prayers tomorrow. After the embolization she will be in ICU for a day and then in a regular room for a day and then she should be able to go home until the doctors drill to remove what's left of the mass next month.
