tuesday 1230am
Phil seems to be sleeping now.
Us kids are getting some rest while we can.
Pray the puppy will be quiet-a bit disturbing.

Almost 9
Phil is ready to check out. Please pray for peace for him.
Please pray that he wouldn't be anxious. We are sitting around waiting. Kind of a strange thing to be doing. Like waiting for a big event, that will actually be an anti-climax (weird eh)- kris smiles and shrugs.

Monday nearly 6pm
Doctor has been, not long to go now.
Phil isn't heaps comfortable and he's ready to go, said so himself. He wants it to be over.
Please pray for Mum and Dad, its really tough.
Please pray for mum as she gives Phil morphine to make him more comfortable but makes him less responsive at the same time. It's a difficult thing, but its more important to keep him comfortable than anything else.
Please pray for patience for us kids with each other.

Monday afternoon
Phil is hanging on, but he isn't looking heaps comfortable at the moment, hopefully he is more comfortable than I think he is.
Doctor is coming again soon.

Monday.
Doctor just came, Phil's pulse is a bit weaker today. He doesn't have much breath sound at all on his left side, in other words - one lung down.
He seems comfortable, but it would be good if he could drink a bit more, that would help him- there's a prayer point.

Still sunday...
I think Phil is asleep, the oxygen definately made him more comfortable and he has been pretty peaceful this afternoon. He was a bit more alert tonight.
The doctor is great, he lives just round the corner and he keeps coming round to check on him.
Sleep time for me. We are all very tired.
Will give another report or two or three....tomorrow.

It's still sunday.
Phillip is deteriorating very rapidly. Please pray that he will be comfortable and peaceful.
it's sunday again........
Phil's breathing sounds worse today...(not that I am a doctor), but he is obviously struggling to breathe.
He is really tired.
There is talk of getting some oxygen for him.
They are also upping his morphine again. (The amount he's on is about 3 or 4 times the amount given to a 'normal'sick person, if there is such a person).

Not looking great.
Finally I'm back at home.
This last week hasn't been great for Phil, he has been quite wheezy, but upon listening to his chest it is actually decreased breath sounds, which is caused by the tumours. It is quite hard for him to breath.
He is very tired.
There is a notable difference between the last time I saw him. Mum said that he has deteriorated in the last couple of days.
While the least of Phil's concerns at the moment he also has a tumour in his abdomen which is growing quickly.
Nothing else to say really.

such a long time
I'm so sorry it has been such a long time between updates....I feel like I nearly forgot that this blog existed.
I feel like there isn't really much news, but I'm sure you would rather know that than nothing at all. Phil had some of his meds changed around last week, but that made him really drowsy so they changed them back. (He was getting a sore tummy from having the needles going into his tummy for the syringe drivers so they were trying different options, the 'site' (place where the needle is has to be moved every few days or so....so he must have lots of marks on his poor belly).
Anyway I feel I haven't seen him properly for a bit over a week now so I don't have much to report, (Melinda has been on placement in Melbourne still too, so neither of us at home). He was in good spirits on Father's day when I was at home.
Thankyou all for your prayers and support. Please keep praying for Phil, please pray that the drugs they give him would be effective but also enable him to be awake and alert and enjoy the company of others.
Love Kris

Phil is doing really well at the moment, his voice has finally come back (it was croaky for a few weeks there) and he is in good spirits.
We had a good time on the weekend playing cards and watching movies.
Phil's sense of humour is still completely intact. He has still been in fine form. getting up to mischevious even from the confines of his bed.
Melinda is doing a couple of weeks of night shift nursing placement at the moment, combined with daytime interviews for positions for her grad year. Please pray for her....interviews are important and combined with no sleep.......
