Tuesday Prayer Requests

Good morning friends,
I can tell that the anticipation of tomorrow's surgery is beginning to wear on my heart and my head (which is probably why I was wide awake at 3:00am this morning - it's going to be a very long day) To let all of you know, Phil had another seizure yesterday afternoon. His son, Tim, was "dad-sitting" and was great. He remained calm, got his dad the required medication, made sure he was on his side, and called me when it was all over. It was a mild seizure, for that we give thanks but, like previous seizures, it zapped him of his energy and left his leg paralyzed. He was able to get some sleep last night however upon waking this morning he is still lacking in strength and energy. His leg has begun to recover app. 20% (try moving around without being able to life a leg or turn a foot) Quite honestly, I think fatigue is setting in and he's weary of the daily struggle. That said, I would ask for your prayers. Specifically, for today, pray that God continues to surround Phil with His love, pray that fear isn't allowed to take hold in his heart and pray that Phil's spirits are lifted and the day passes without another seizure. Kate arrives this morning (Thank you Lord!) and I must admit that I'm dreaming of a nap today (in my family it's called Mom's upstairs "reading") but in any event, thank you to everyone for your continued thoughts and prayers. Phil said to mention that he hopes to provide an update of his own later today so stay tuned....
