Prayer Vigil for Philip

Prayer Vigil For Philip


This candle has been lit October 22, 1999 as a reminder to pray for my son.









On October 20, my son Philip ( 8 years old) was playing at a playground. He was swinging on a swing and decided to jump off.
When he did HE BROKE BOTH OF HIS ELBOWS.
The right elbow was broken in many places and the elbow cap was pressing into vessels and into the muscles. This required emergency surgeries to rebuild the bones in his right elbow.
AND to set the LEFT elbow.

So Now this little guy has CASTS on BOTH ELBOWS and has to depend on us to tend to his needs until he heals.

Please pray for for Philip and all of us family members as we walk out this unfortunate set of circumstances.

Ecclesiastes 3: 1-8

There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under heaven:

A time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot,

A time to kill and A TIME TO HEAL,
A time to tear down and a time to build,

A time to weep and a time to laugh,
A time to mourn and a time to dance,

A time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
A time to embrace and a time to refrain,

A time to search and a time to give up,
A time to keep and a time to throw away,

A time to tear and a TIME TO MEND,
A time to speak and a time to be silent,

A time to love and a time to hate,
A time for war and a time for peace.

Everyone -- he has been very brave throughout all of this. I am
proud of him. In a age when doctors are not always talked about with
favor --- we were Blessed with 2 Real-life Angels with terrific
bedside manners.

Misker

Oh, poor Philip! In the long run, this may be a good thing for him and his
friends, to help them to understand why playgrounds have rules like not jumping
off swings! For now, though, I know it's going to be terribly hard on you
and all the family and all his friends to give him the help he needs. Best of
luck on a quick recovery!
Alice

Phillip, you're not supposed to jump off the swing!!! But since you did, I hope that you will heal and

From: LOTH Fairy

Cathy!
Awfully sorry to hear that your son, Philip should
undergo the surgery. His case recalls me of the times
of my childhood, when my left arm had been cast for
one month due to slip on the ice rink.
I do hope that his surgery will be going perfectly all
right and he will get well soonest, returning to his
normal life as your lovely child....!!!!!!!!!
Please rest assured that "CHILDREN GROW UP... WITH
SUCH ACCIDENTS".
Best regards/ your forever friend from Seoul, Korea
