Philip Update: 2/23/2015, 2:40am

Your prayers are felt. Philips body is having a great night keeping all his numbers right where they need to be. My dad and I have also had a great night getting to know the staff better and sharing with them what a blessing their teamwork and zeal for giving care is. 
If you are up late or when you wake up in the morning, I would ask for your prayers for all that is happening outside of Philips room but only because of what is happening inside Philips room. What I mean by that, is that God is glorified in the conversations for sending His protective angels around Philip. 
God has given us glimpses of how He is at work mightily. Philip would be happy to know how his fight has been a sense of strength to all of us. Ask me in the next couple weeks when I see you about these glimpses...... God has held Leanne and me in the cleft of the rock numerous times the last few days. We have felt His love and are thankful for seeing a small glimpse of His fullness. No doubt this has much to do with the thousands of prayers being lifted up and in turn the number of angels hanging out in Philips room and all around this hospital. Prayers of thanksgiving for Scottish Rite. 
On a lighter note, my dad is snoring so loud, it's carried through the whole ICU. Seriously. He deserves the rest but man oh man -- he better calm down or they may intubate him smile emoticon. I shared the option with Katherine and she is in agreement saying, "we don't play up here."
Love and prayers of thanksgiving for all of you. 
All my best,
Wes

‪ ‪Lisa Camino Rowell‪ Perhaps your Dad's snores are just his way of making a joyful noise even while he rests. One man's snore is another man's clanging gong
                                    Prayers for Philip BenderLisa Camino Rowell -- that's so true. However, a clanging gong would have  likely been much more silent than what was coming from my father last night
