Wednesday - 6am Update

Phil slept through the night. They wake him every hour and he responds to commands.

He is still running a low grade temperature which comes down when they treat it. They will run tests today to find the source of the infection causing the fever. The likely suspect is the lungs due to intubation for so long. Hopefully, diagnosis and treatment will be underway by the 1pm visitation.

  1. So glad he was able to sleep, if that is what you call it in the hospital, about the time you fall asleep they come wake you up:) I hope Rhonda and the kids are getting some much needed rest as well. So glad to hear Phil's heart is good and strong and pray the infection will be taken care of quickly and easily! Hugs to you all! Robyn

  2. Thank you for posting this information. I am not sure if you have heard of the website, CaringBridge but it is also a wonderful site to post information and keep everyone updated. We will pray for Phil to be healed and for Rhonda and the kids to get rest, be comforted in the fact that Phil will have a full recovery, and for their strength. I will specifically pray for Phil’s heart to be strong, for him to be able to breathe on his own, and for his body to fight off this infection. We are thinking of him constantly… Phil has a special place in our hearts! We know that Phil has a tiny (LOL) stubborn streak and he will fight hard! Can you ask Rhonda to send us the lake house address? Again, thanks for keeping us updated… We appreciate the information. With love, Paul & Lisa Ottendorf
