Stroke Leaves Gorgeous 26-Yr-Old With Paralyzed Face—10 Yrs Later, Her Husband Uses Her Testimony to Inspire Others

It was 2008 when Katherine Wolf suffered a massive brain stem stroke that would forever change her life.

At just 26 years old, the wife and brand new mother was not expected to live, much less recover. But nearly 10 years later, Katherine is a living and breathing example of God’s redemptive love and extraordinary miracles.

Though she relies on a wheelchair to get around, and her face remains permanently paralyzed on one side which impacts her speech and hearing, Katherine and her husband, Jay, are using their testimony to inspire others with the healing powers of hope.

Theirs is not a hope that is found in positive thoughts and Hallmark cards, but as Jay explains, it’s the hope that can only be found in our Savior.

We cried tears of joy 10 years ago today when James came into the world, made us parents, formed a new family of three. He arrived a good 5 years earlier than we had planned but perfectly on time. . Me not having a stroke and neither of us dying in childbirth was the first miracle my neurosurgeon has always said. . There could have been so many different stories written these past 10 years, but the one we’ve been given is my favorite because it’s hard and good. . James means “supplanter”–to replace what already is with something new. And he has and he will. And we’re still crying tears of joy. Happy birthday our dear James. . #HopeHealsFamily #HopeHeals #TooBlessedToBeBitter
