Follow up....from post "Today"

Some of you may of read my post on Tuesday about a worry I had with a appt for Philip. We did go to the appt with the PA and it went okay. He asked a lot of questions about Philip and his history. That always makes for a emotional day for me...somehow living it is enough for us...saying it out loud makes it more real. Crazy I know...
He asked me who I was to Philip and I said his mom and he was shocked...Ha maybe he takes some meds...ya think?
I told him that Dr. D was mad with me and was worried he would not "get over it". He said If I am over it ..meaning the PA then Dr. D will be too. So I said can you put that in his chart...ha
He gave me and Philip a long talk about the problems with long use of pain meds...Yes Yes I know...that is why....well never mind..ya'll know.
So we meet with DR.D next week to discuss the brain operation...as he said it is more complicated on Philip due to his 15 brain operations. There is a lot of scar tissue back in the deep brain area due to the stroke and shunt issues. But we may not have any choice.
Maybe next week DR.D will have another idea.
I FELT your prayers Tuesday. I have been worried sick. You know how your mind gets carried away...well mine had gone crazy. I wish I had let you all know earlier in the week so you could of helped me with it. For some odd reason I was just so worried about it I could not get past that ...But I am better..and what will be will be.
As always...we are blessed to have EACH of you praying for Philip and I family daily. I feel like we have our own village of prayers warriors...Who could ask for anything more?

Oh I'm so glad you had a good meeting with the PA. I know the doctor will also be receptive. They are human too - maybe he just had a bad day. It sounds like you handled it great.....

Phew - that part is behind you. Don't kid yourself = I'm sure the PA will talk to the doctor prior to your meeting.

I'm so glad for this update, Amy! I was concerned and wondered about the outcome with the dr. I'm glad things are still "on" and will be praying for Phillip.

I am quite certain that Phillip is my hero! What a strong man.

You do have your own village of prayer warriors, how awesome is that? No words to say today except, I am praying for you, for Phillip, for your family, for the doctors, for everyone involved in your treatments and with Phillip, praying for a miracle, praying for peace and understanding. Praying for you to feel God, praying for you to be strong, but to know when to be weak, praying for you to have the courage you need, but know when to surrender to God. You have so much, so much more than most could ever bear and you are so amazing how you do handle it, with grace and with acceptance...God is with you and so are my thoughts and prayers. I love you, but then you know that.
