Today at 4 the DR is going to take a special look at Philip and read some follow up to some testing that was done today. There are some concerns that need to be addressed. His swallowing has gone from weak to really bad. He also has a very weak movement in his left leg. There is a concern for another stroke. Or a ongoing issue with the spine since it was operated on days ago. There is also extra fluid going into the brain so this could be a problem. The DR will be able to tell us more this afternoon. He is in the OR and then will be in to exam Philip and speak with us.
I will update after we speak with the Dr.
Also today is Reed's 16th birthday. I am feeling very torn as a mom today. I know it will all be okay..it just has to be. But I would like to feel a little more in control.
Ha..I went to erase the word control..because I am NOT in control..He is..GOD. But I decided to leave it. A lesson learned for me. I am NOT in control. In fact I am sure GOD laughs when us Mortals make plans.
Please pray for Philip. His pain levels is high. His emotions are very off. And this is taking a hard toll on everyone involved. I am praying for peace for everyone involved today.

Please, Dear GOD, be with Philip and his family today. Clothe them in your lovingkindness and surround them all with peace, comfort, and strength. Help them to continue trusting in you for wisdom, understanding, and acceptance. In Jesus name I pray...AMEN!
God Bless all of you, Amy...please keep us updated as you know more!
my prayers are with him...and you. I know how hard it must be.
Keeping Philip in my prayers. I am thinking of you often and pray that you are taking care of yourself as well.
Hugs,

I'm praying!
Praying extra prayers for you and Philip today. And you're right...they always say if you want to make God laugh, tell him your plans!
Keeping you all in my thoughts and in my prayers.
As I tell you often, "without ceasing",I am praying! I wish I could be there to offer you comfort, shoulder some part of your responsibilities....something. I know that prayer is the most important and powerful thing I can do. (That and keep Arvin, Eddie, Ivan, whatever, off my farm until next harvest! Made you smile for a brief second, didn't I? :-) ) Love ya, S.

I am praying hourly today! Love to you! Hang in there Momma.
Praying hard!! Hang in there. We are going to step of the prayers right now. Hugs~Rob
Hugs Amy!
Praying! None of this easy! He knows! Bring it all to His feet! Cry out literally to Jesus and let Him carry this burden!
Listen to His still small voice whisper all that you need to know each moment of this day! Take it just that slowly. Don't feel pressure to rush in any decision and if things move fast - stop and pray before answering!
I am here praying and sending many hugs!
Lots of love,
Jill
Been praying all day...just felt the need, then came home for lunch and saw your request. Will be sending more prayers and ask
God to let you know today that everything will be fine....I am sure at this point Reed understands...anyhow I hope he does :)
I am always praying for Philip, you and the family. Things are going to look up! I so wish I were there to help you....
Now, will you send that Irvan guy over to harvest my farm? I got's work to do!
Love ya - Keli
As always I'm praying. Praying for comfort and good news for you and Philip and your entire family. You guys are always on my mind and have instantly made your way in to my heart! I love you guys so much!
I am praying this is just a temporary setback .... Please Dear God - watch over Philip and if it is your will let his recovery be swift and whole.
I think a lot of people mistake God as having something to do with all the pain and suffering in the world. It just isn't so. 1 John 5:19 says "We know we originate with God, but the whole world is lying in the [power of the] wicked one." (Satan) Job 34:10 says; "Far be it from the [true] God to act wickedly, And the Almighty to act unjustly!" God is deeply saddened when we make plans that draw us away from Him. According to 1 John 5:14, if we are serving God faithfully, we can be confident that he will answer our prayers that are in harmony with his will. I will pray for Philip and your family. May you all have peace in these times.
My heart goes out to you as always. I just wanted to point something out - it makes no difference to me now that I am unemployed, BUT - folks who are working and checking in from their office - as I was before I got laid off -- find it embarrassing to have music playing when they go to a site. Can you make that an option?
Luv ya!
