Both surgeries are done. The doctors feel they were successful but they believe Sally will lose the vision in her left eye. She will likely be on a vent for the next few days and will remain in the hospital for the remainder of the week.
There are several needs to consider for the family…
If you’d be interested in helping with any of these areas or others please give me a call or drop me an email.
As of 8:30 a.m. Sally made it through the first surgery to repair the AVM and some of the swelling in her brain. She was in her second surgery to remove the blood clot as well as other issues. Jose said the second surgery will also likely last another 4 to 5 hours.
Listen to their testimony.
Sally went into emergency surgery around 3 a.m. this morning. A blood clot was also found and the doctors felt it could be life threatening. They went into surgery and Jose said it would likely be a 4-5 hour surgery. As of 6 a.m. the doctors had not updated the family. Jose sounded worn down and tired but hopeful.
After more tests at Baylor Dallas it has been determined (as I understand it) that Sally has AVM, Arteriorvenous malformation. Sally is stable tonight but they will have a neurosurgeon operate on her in the morning unless an emergency operation is necessary overnight.
The morning surgery has not yet been scheduled. Please continue to keep the Perez’s and their family in your prayers and especially Sally and the doctors in the morning.
Mr. & Mrs. Jonathan Blundell

Horray for Dollye! She has the first and only photos that my life and I have seen of our actual wedding. Check them out on her Flickr page.
Well it’s 12:26 a.m. and I’m barely keeping my eyes open.
I’m beat. I feel like I’ve been kicked around a couple times today with various news from various sources – but that’s OK. God is good. He’s still on His throne and the moon is still round.
AND TODAY I’M MARRYING LAURA JANINE TURNER!
WHOOO!
It’s been a great day. We had a fun rehearsal a great rehearsal dinner hosted by my parents at David and Debbie Hollies and just an overall good day.
I can’t wait till 2 p.m. today and I get to see Laurie walk through the church doors.
I feel like there just aren’t the words to describe my anticipation.
And in case you were wondering – don’t expect any posts here for the next week or so.
We plan to be off the grid until next Saturday – maybe even longer if we’re lucky ;-).
But as a side note – I have a couple unspoken prayer requests. They have a little to do with some of the news I’ve gotten today.
I don’t feel like I can go into it here but just pray that God will be sought, His will will be shown and the peace that passes all understanding will be given.
Thanks and see you in a week or so!
