Got a call from Jose tonight, the doctors have given Sally the OK to go home.
They are now just waiting for several machines to arrive at their house to aid Sally in her recovery.
In case you didn’t follow along, it was discovered on Mother’s Day that Sally had AVM and had to be rushed to Baylor Dallas and ended up having an emergency eight hour surgery to fix the blood vessels going to her brain as well as remove a blood clot that had formed.
After the surgery, the doctors said the surgery was a success but she would likely lose all eyesight in her left eye.
Two days later she was doing much better and seeing out of both eyes. But Monday of last week the doctors realized she was having trouble breathing and had to give her a tracheotomy to allow her to breathe after scar tissue formed in her throat from the vent she was on during and after surgery.
Now a little more than two weeks later, Sally is ready to come home. Praise God! She will likely need to have an additional surgery to remove the scar tissue, but the doctors are saying she might heal on her own without the surgery.
Her vision is still somewhat blurry but the doctors are now saying it will likely fully recover.
Another praise is that Jose and Sally have no health insurance – but according to Jose, praise God because someone through the hospital has promised the family they will take care of all the costs of the surgeries, hospital stay, medicines, machines and meds at home and anything Sally needs.
What an amazing God! What a way to make himself real to this family and our church.
What a mighty God we serve.
Please continue to keep the Perez family in your prayers. There are sure to be other needs as both Sally and Jose have been out of work the last two weeks.
Thanks again for all your prayers – God has heard them.
