Thank you all for your prayers and support!
On January 26, 2011 we were told that Phil had cancer somewhere. By March 14 we had a diagnosis--stage 4 colon cancer with a life expectancy of 6 months to a year. Phil's response: "I don't care what they tell me. I'm going to beat this!" And if anyone can do it, Phil can, God willing!

Turning the corner . . .
WOOT WOOT!!! Phil appears to be turning a corner today. His fever
has been under 101 since yesterday afternoon—it’s been in the 98-99 range
since then. His blood work is improving, too. His platelet count today
is 79, compared to 59 yesterday (normal range is 88-368). His neutrophils
(the infection fighters) rose from 100 yesterday to 330 today. The benchmark to be released is no fever and a count of 500. Phil is incredibly fragile so we hope this trend
continues.
