Dear Prayer Warriors,
Thank you for your prayers and encouraging cards and all.. Today was hard, no peace very stressful. My toes were over hanging the ledge all day, waiting on news about Phil's stint not draining, and another CAT scan, but it got better after 4:00. Good news CAT scan came back good, I was able to go home with peace. Phil was quieter today after a morning of headache and much discomfort. I was able to go in and lay my head in his lap and rest with him for 40 minutes. I hear there will a few up and down days, today was down, soooo tomorrow should be up. Dr said Phil was dieing Monday night thats why the emergency 6 hour surgery I hadn't heard that before. He thinks Phil will be in the ICU for 2 to 4 weeks that was more bad news too. I had heard before that he may get out next week. I don't think I will be talking to the Dr. anymore. My sisters are going to run interference for me the Doctors always make me sick to my stomach after talking to them, they just don't have room in those brain surgeons heads for tenderness, so blunt. I don't mind if they use all their brain power for their expertise, I have lots of other people for tenderness I just can't be the one to talkto them if I am going to be any good for Phil.
Phil must have been fighting the war today, when the speech therapist asked all the questions he answered them all correctly except the one. What do you do for a living? To that he said" I am a soldier". Later he said "I'm going to Iraq tomorrow, I am bringing soldiers and guns". He was fighting a war in his head all day;
his brow was furrowed. Pray for time to pass peacefully. Keep praying it is the power of God.
Love Donna (Phil too).
