Phil is doing well. The roller coaster continues. We do not know why or how it happens but yesterday Phil perked up. He is again eating, and he has had bowel movements. I am not sure that he is completely unblocked. The cancer is still raging in his abdomen, but he has stabilized for now. It must be the prayers. He has again confounded the doctors.
This morning he called Michael and asked him to bring over an Egg McMuffin. He ate 1/2 of it. His brother-in-law John called, and he told him he felt great.
From left to right: David, Alan, Judy, Phil, Mike, Anna and PatLast night, Phil's brothers Alan and David, David's wife Pat, Phil's sister Anna and Anna's husband Mike all came to dinner. We ordered carry out chinese. Michelle and her family joined us, too. Phil had a wonderful time and even ate some supper. He also had some dessert. They talked from about 4 PM until 10:30 PM. It was just wonderful remembering old times. His cousin Pat and wife Mary were just leaving when David and Pat arrived. Mary and Pat brought old pictures of the family. Lots of laughs and memories of youth.
Now we are planning on going to the Sporer family christmas party on Saturday and then going to Door County for christmas next Wednesday, weather permitting.
