Praise God we are home. And not just any home. The house we will call home for a year if not longer. We have our stuff! God Bless Pat, Wendy, Kathy, Amy Nancie, Dad, Scott, Mom, Heidi, Lisa, Deann, and Hillary for everything that you did. Wendy is still here and unpacking day by day. Jeff will arrive this weekend to help finish up. Another powerful witness of Jesus in Action. There is no way I could do any of this myself and I thank Jesus for sending these people to serve us in such a huge way.
Mike is doing well, though he is asleep. We had some fluid retention in the hospital but took some drugs to help with that. Mike will be on a 10 day antibiotic IV at home. Heart of Texas, a home health company, and Parragon (pharmacy) are taking care of that. It will be delivered to the house and the nurse will show me what to do. I am getting good at the IV's. Mixing and using the machines.
Please continue to pray:
Health for Mike
Health for Me
No more Staph infections!
Sleep, rest, time as a family
Organization
Mike will drink more and eat more
For all the doctor's appointments over the next week/weekend
For more praises to point to God
For Elizabeth and her transition !
Time to be a family and enjoy Christmas season
I will post more this weekend. I have to tell you about the care of strangers!

Trusting Jesus to be your rock and your anchor through this.
Our whole family is now asking "How are the Philips?" Heidi has been praying diligently!! We are SO thankful you are at our YOUR HOME now and I personally think that's the way to go...a home health nurse...obviously I'm biased!
Hopefully you'll get the package tomorrow. I forgot to tell you that it was handmade by a man named...none other than MIKE!!!!!! Love, Gini for all the Armes
What a relief to hear things are falling into place and Mike is getting some rest. We, at Hurlburt Field, are continually praying for you all and sending positive thoughts!

Praise the LORD you are home now and can settle in with all your stuff. I'm so thankful for all the people helping you. You know, some of those "strangers" could be angels! :) Can you believe it hasn't even been one year since you left Tucson? We love you guys, Lynnette & Kevin
This was Joel's handwriting verse today: "Dont worry about anything instead, pray about everything; tell God your needs and don't forget to thank Him for his answers."
So we said a prayer:
"THANK YOU GOD for hearing and answering our prayers! We know that what ever lies ahead for Mike, Deanna and Elizabeth you will be there hearing and answering with love, compassion and hope! Amen"
P.S. Bri got a part in the KC Opera's Charlotte's Web May 7-9th. She's SO excited!
