Words of Celebration & Appreciation

Tonight I celebrate what I consider to be a major milestone in Phil's recovery...completely breathing on his own. Who could ever imagine that taking a breath on your own be such a miracle? But that is exactly what it is.

Words can't express my gratitude to all of you for your support throughout this ordeal. First of all, I praise God for Phil's healing. I truly believe that the power of all of your prayers and Phil's will to live is what has pulled him through this. I know that I could not have been able to perservere without the support of our family and friends. He has a long road of recovery but he is cognizant of that fact and ready to work for his wellness.

Several of you have asked if you can come visit Phil yet. My answer is still no since he is still in ICU and still recovering from pneumonia. We don't expect to be in the Tyler area all that much longer, so when he is home and ready to receive your love, I will certainly let you know. In the meantime, the cards and posts to this blog are great support for him.

Thank you again for your love, concern and support. Phil and I look forward to visiting with all of you soon. After all, his voice is back!

Group hug,


Rhonda
