This is Angie. Ben and Becca wanted me to update you this afternoon. Philip is resting comfortably. As of the doctor’s evaluation this morning, the changes that have been made include putting in a Foley catheter to help with Philip’s urinary retention. His abdomen is distended/bloated and there is little bowel function. His feeds have been switched from formula to pedialyte and is being decreased. His oxygen has been decreased to 2L which would be the considered level of comfort. His morphine dose has been doubled and methadone (another pain medicine) has been increased. His oxygen and feeding will be discontinued later today. All of these changes are being made to increase Philip’s comfort level. God is giving both Ben and Becca great grace. Please continue to hold them up in prayer before the throne in this definite time of need!
