Closings and updates....

Well Friday was the last day of VBS and there was a closing prayer service. Family members were invited so my parents were invited. Since Katie's godmother helped me out with them earlier in the week I invited her too. I had to work that day but only for a few hours. I also volunteered to help out with the closing prayer service. It wasn't a big deal they just wanted someone over by the kids during the readings and other speaking parts in case there was a problem. The best part was the kids singing there songs................

As crazy as last week went I was very glad they went. Katie even made a friend that will be at her Camp Gabe Week in July.

There has also been some going on that I should have posted sooner but I have enough details now I can give the most information. Last week Phil's dad, James, had a heart attack. He was taken to the local hospital. He then had to be taken to better facility in Indianapolis by ambulance. After many test and discussions with all the medical personnel James had open heart surgery today.

Phil left yesterday morning to be with his family. His father did in fact have 8 blockages. Originally it was thought he only had 5. They also told us that the back of his heart wasn't very viable. It all seemed like very grim news. However, at this hour the surgery is complete he is resting in a room. There was an attempt to take the breathing tube out that was not successful and they will try again in a few hours. Tomorrow they will attempt to get him up and moving slowly but surely.

For those of you that already knew some of this THANK YOU for remembering to pray for him and Phil feels things went well. The next few days will tell the bigger picture. He will be in the hospital for a few more days, with rehab and everything it could be a long road but one they will take one day at a time.

Hoping everything continues to move in a positive direction. The kids made cards for him and they are hanging in his room so he can see them as he is recovering. He was also surrounded by most of his family and I think that made some of this go a little easier for him.
