Philip said a few words to us today. We all feel that he is taking baby steps now and we feel encouraged that he will be getting a little better each day. He remains agitated and upset. We try and comfort him but it doesn’t really help very much. We don’t know if he is in pain or in some way uncomfortable. There are still times that they have to give him drugs to deal with the agitation. We pray that each day is better then the day before and soon he will be able to communicate his needs..

Testimonials
Patient advocacy: "When a person develops serious illness there is so much to consider beyond what the doctor recommends regarding treatment - issues of family, work, insurance, disability, transportation and more can quickly become overwhelming, making a difficult situation appear insurmountable. But it doesn't have to be that way - working with well-trained, well-informed patient advocates can help people navigate the maze of health-related issues in a way that supports peace, balance, and the opportunity for optimal healing to take place." This book will help you become your own patient advocate.

Dear Randy, I am thinking about you and your family and pulling for you every day. Prayers are in my heart all day long. Love all of you, Cindi Powell
Any small improvement in Phil’s condition is a giant step for him and something we will all celebrate!. We’ll take any improvements we can get. As for you, my beloved, friend, I hope that you are taking care of your precious self. Last night’s Lubavitch event was fabulous… but you were deeply missed. Barry & I pray for Hashem to envelop Philip in His holy embrace and bless him with healing. I will not stop praying until that happens. I know you are all in the thoughts and prayers of everyone here in Charlotte. You have not been forgotten as you forge through the trials and tribulations of each day. I pray that you are able to keep up your strength as you advocate for your son. I am amazed at your grace, dignity and unending devotion to Philip.
I can;t even imagine where he would be without you! I definitely want you on my side if I become a patient! It makes the work we do so much more significant… and important.
Love you! Miss you!
