Yesterday was a momentous occasion. Philip, one of the boys who has been very sick for many years-reached his 11th year of life!
I have had the chance to spend lots of time with Philip over the past year-giving injections, daily medications morning and evening, daily skin care, many trips to doctors' offices and hospitals, and lots of prayers asking God to heal his little body.
But lately we have seen some changes in Philip! He took a bad turn about a month ago-all sorts of infections and one doctor even told us to prepare for the end. But, he started healing slowly by slowly, and during our last doctor's appointment-his blood tests showed that the long term medications are starting to work!!! GLORY TO JESUS! :)
Yesterday we gathered together to celebrate the beginning of his 11th year. We had pizza and chocolate cake, and Philip had one request from me for his birthday-to have a banana :) In the picture you can see that Philip is still skinny (as usual!) and has some wounds remaining on his face, but he is slowly improving and we all had a chance to celebrate that on Sept 1.
