The Victory is Gods, My God is in the Miracle Business and he has answered our prayers for a miracle, Lacey is recovering incredibly well says Neurosurgeon Dr. Peyman Tabrizi, AVM Expert. Western Medical Center Santa Ana, Ca. Lacey is showing no signs of any difficulties due to her surgery. There is a slight muffled hearing in one ear and it comes and goes, The doctors tell us it's fluid in the ear and will go away in time. Lacey is home with her kids and family.
My God is in the Miracle business and we fail to ask God for all miracles, we fail to ask God for those Big Miracles because we feel they are to big, we fail to ask God for the small miracles because we feel they are to small, We need to ask God for all miracles big or small and all those in between, Says
Marianne Williamson, Author.

Larisa Diephuis said… - Hi Mario,
Please keep us updated as you learn about a new date for surgery, we are all sending you positive energy!
Im slowly but suring recovering from my AVM surgery. I had some brain swelling afterwards, whcih they didnt expect, but knew very well how to handle so i still feel incredibly lucky to be here on this planet. I was in ICU for over 10 days, but i am out now and recovering, i have either OT & PT everyday, and i have alredy progressed from a walker to a cane, and have had to slowly relearn some things, but i plan to get even better after the next few weeks. I fly back to New Orleans on wednesday, my mom is coming to help me get settled and will stay with me in new orleans while my husband adjusts to me being home again and to my current state of recovery. I have been down this road before with the first stroke, so i have a lot of confidence that i will get better and im alot less scared than the first time! It will just take time and energy and i have accepted that. My 4 year old son has been amazing through this and i feel lucky to have rasied such a neat kid. I will be thinking of you and lacey every day!!!

Thank you so much for your words. This time is so hard. We thought the hardest was over but this week has changed our journey. But God knows what he is doing and his timing is perfect. It was Joshua's time to go home. He will always be our forever miracle.There isn't a day goes by that I dont have Lacey and your family in my prayers. I will continue to keep her surgery and recovery in my prayers. Let me know how she is doing...

- I am fine thanks for asking. When I had my health situation only my family and family friends were my support. We didn’t know anyone else with an avm.. since know I have this opportunity to help others. I feel well identified and for me you are part of my family.
Take Care
