Holly's Healing

6th month MRI follow-up tomorrow morning, prayers appreciated!

I'm sitting here in awe of the amazing people God has blessed us with!!! My aunt flew in from Utah (it's only like 70° there) and braved this Texas 🔥HEAT🔥 to help take care of me!!! All the friends and family that have brought groceries and meals. All the Arts Avenue dance family that has helped with drop off and pick up!!! Not to mention the tremendous prayer warriors we have battling on our behalf!!! We couldn't have done this without y'all!!! I pray God blesses y'all abundantly for the love, prayers and acts of service you have provided our family. There are not enough words to thank you!!

Healing update!!

Surgery went well. I'm still in ICU but I should have been downgraded already because I'm doing so well. They will probably downgrade me tomorrow morning. I've been out of bed walking around without assistance. Praise God and thank you all for your prayers!!

Tomorrow is the BIG day!! I'm finishing packing up for my little hotel stay at Seton Hospital. Surgery will begin at 7:30am.

I'm so beyond grateful for all of the many prayers I know my people are lifting up to the Father on my behalf!! You guys are going to battle with me and I'm truly honored!!

For those that are wanting to provide a meal for my family during this time, my friend has setup

Meal Train for The Valadez Family We would love to bless Holly and her family again as she will be having her final surgery on Friday, June 16th.

I know that it's has been way too long since I have posted, mostly because the healing has been going so well!! I did want to jump on here and give everyone an update.

You may remember, since there were tumor cells embedded into my skull they had to leave that part of my skull off and I've been just waking around out here with part of my skull missing like it's no big dea😎l!!!

Originally I was scheduled to go back into surgery on May 19th for them to put the prosthetic skull piece (3D printed in Germany😮) back on. Well a few weeks before that, they called to let me know that one of the doctors needed for my surgery (it will be both plastic surgeon and neurosurgeon) would be out that day and then the other doctor for 3 weeks so they were postponing my surgery until June 16th.

Initially I was pretty upset 😡 about the delay. Its hard to be happy with the healing progress I'm making when I know in the back on my mind I'm just going to have to do it all over again. Plus the brain fluid pocket on the side of my face is very uncomfortable at times and has caused me a few problems not to mention a trip to the ER.

However, a wise friend said to me, while I was still processing this news, that I needed to trust God's timing. My response at the time was I could trust it but not like it at the same time. But now as we are starting to approach the updated date, I look back on the past month of things I would have missed while recovering and I'm grateful 🙏 for God's timing and that His ways are always higher than our ways!!

Could you be praying for me and my family for the next couple of weeks as we prepare to go back into surgery? Would you pray that God uses this to bring healing in ways that we can't even imagine? Would you pray that the success of this surgery brings Him glory and praise? And would you continuing to pray that I walk through this and come out without even the smell of smoke?

Thank you to everyone who prayed, sent encouragement, brought meals, and loved us through this.... let's get ready to do it again.
Love y'all ❤️❤️❤️

It's been about a week since my last update and it's definitely been a interesting week!

Before the update I really want to thank everyone for their prayers and love!! We walked into this situation full of faith and peace that made no sense except for all the prayers being made in our behalf! There will never be enough words to thank all of you!! Just know that I praise God for the love he has surrounded us with!!

The tumor was completely removed and the surgery was successful. The surgeon confirmed that tumor cells were embedded into the skull piece that they had removed so they were not able to put that piece of skull back on. Thus my beautiful fashion accessory that you saw on me at the hospital, my helmet. I'll need to wear that for the next few months while they build me a custom skull replacement piece.

While bumps in the healing process have come our way I continue to be in such awe of all God is doing through this healing process! Thank you all for your continued prayers!

Meal Train for The Valadez Family Let's support Holly and her family during her time of healing after surgery.

Holly looks great today! She’s talking and laughing and even walked around some.

We are hoping to get out of ICU tomorrow. In order to come home she needs to be able to walk around unassisted and make it up the stairs.

Thank you all for your prayers and well wishes! Keep ‘em coming ♥️🙏
Continued prayer for l: favor, continued improvement, rest, and better tv programming.

Holly is doing well! We got to spend a few hours with her, but she’s mostly resting. She smiled for her fan club and her sense of humor is still in tact ♥️
🙏 Things to pray for: no more nausea, the ability to rest even though she has hourly checks by the nurse, and quick recovery.

God is so so good! Look at what He has ALREADY DONE!! Holly is back in the room. She is resting and will be asleep for about an hour. She was able to be taken off the ventilator which is great!! But a part of her skull is going to stay off for a while as the swelling goes down which they said is completely normal💓 Praying and believing for continued, complete, and total healing in Jesus name! 🙏🏽🙌🏽

We are on the schedule for 11:10am but it may be closer to 12.

Update! Embolism went well today, and surgery is scheduled for tomorrow at noon.

Today Holly’s family and friends gathered around her to pray for favor, smooth process, and quick and complete healing.

🙏🙏🙏 Join us in prayer from noon to 6 tomorrow.

Praying that the next attempt at an IV is easy and successful!!

Praise God that family is here to provide support and that I've been able to spend the last few days with my love, my Valentine, my honey, Victor! I'm so grateful for him and I so enjoy spending quality time together!! Happy Valentine's Day baby!!

I want to give God glory as He continues to go before every step of the way!! He is a Way Maker and my healer!!

There has been so many what I call God winks during this whole process that given me the confidence and strength to keep moving forward!

He keeps showing up in big and small ways. I'm not normally one to pick a word of the year and if I do I would normally forget about it after a week or 2 but this year God really impressed upon my heart that this would be a year of healing for me. I took this to mean the blood pressure issues and anxiety that I experienced for the first time really last year were going away as I have been working out and taking better care of myself. God has been revealing to me a strength I didn't know I had.

After the car accident and the tumor discovery, 1 of my best friends reminded me that God had already declared this the year of healing several weeks prior and that I could stand on His faithfulness.

I'm so thankful for the ways I already see Him using this for His glory and the way he is moving in Victor and my life. As a good friend always says..

Welcome friends, family, and those who are here to just here to follow my journey to healing. I will be using this page to provide updates and give glory to God for all He is doing through this healing process.

As many of you know I was involved in a car accident on Jan 26. Praise God no one was seriously injured but I was transported to the ER for evaluation. They did CT scans to ensure I had no internal injuries, which thankfully I didn't.

What you may or may not know (depending on if I've seen you since the accident) is that the scans revealed something they were not looking for. They found a Meningioma tumor in my right temporal lobe.

We met with the neurosurgeon a couple days ago and while this is not an emergency or urgent situation, we all felt it was best that we get that sucker out as it has no place being there in Jesus name!!

I will be going into the hospital on 2/14 (Happy Valentine's Day) to begin the prep and the surgery will be on 2/16.

God has already gone before me in so many ways and given me confimation and assurance that this is my path to healing.

Your prayers are very much appreciated. We will keep you updated on my status, needs, prayer requests and praise reports through this page.

I know that I serve a mighty God who heals and I stand on His faithfulness!! Thank you all for standing with me!! Y'all are the best tribe I could ask for to fight beside me in this!!
