Update On Philip

We would like to thank you for all your prayers, love and support these past days. While hearing that Philip has leukemia was devastating, we know God’s hand was present with us. If Philip had been diagnosed just a day or two later we would not have had to postpone the birth of Andrew and therefore would not have been able to gather and store Andrew’s cord blood for possible later use. Also, just the fact that all this happened over Easter weekend…the time in our faith when we reflect on the wonderful gift of salvation Jesus gave to us by His dying and rising again…is just another “God thing” that sustains us.

John and I have strong belief that Philip will be healed by God’s hand. That doesn’t mean we won’t go through times of doubt – we’ve already experienced some of that – so please keep praying for our son and all our family as we adjust to our “new normal” and focus on the complete healing of Philip.

Philip has his first clinic appointment on Monday. He will have a bone marrow biopsy, spinal tap and a round of chemotherapy…please pray for tomorrow to go smoothly.

We do not mind emails, calls and visitors. However, we ask that you be healthy and not bring children around at this time.

Love,

John and Suzanne Endres
