June 20 Update Jupiter and Beyond

Greetings All!
I want to thank everyone for their continued prayers and support.
You have blessed Chris and I and the kids.
I just finished with a Kids Crusade in Jupiter, Florida with Pastor Rick Volpe.
The doctor wanted to admit me once again prior to Friday and the crusade, but we
worked out a deal where I could do the crusade if I stayed close to the hotel and
near a hospital when I wasn't crusading!
Miss Chris didn't let me take my computer so that I would just rest.
This is the first opportunity I have had to touch base.
It was very restful.
I took my son Joel and Danny Van Sandt with me to help.
Poor Joel was bored to tears from a sleeping dad, but he did learn to juggle clubs!
They guys worked well together and covered the juggling and unicycling and all lifting
and loading duties.
We saw a bunch of kids make first time decisions for Christ.
It was a great time at a neat church.
I visited my Nutritionist/Chiropractic Doctor, Brian Walsh and he discovered an
Iodine deficiency in my system. This particular condition is also a cause for Arrithymia.
I have begun Iodine Therapy to see if this helps as well naturally.
Remember for all your Chiropractic and Nutrition needs see Care Chiropractic and
Wellness Center! : )
Today was also a visit with the Cardiologist.
My heart is beating more regularly than it has been.
He has increased the anti-arthymatic drug to triple it's normal dose.
This is an extremely toxic drug that needs to be regulated to make sure it doesn't
cause my heart to... to...
The easiest way to describe what could happen is my AC could become DC and my DC
could become AC.
Weekly trips to check for this in my blood and EKG will go on for several months.
I will continue for another 2 weeks to see if the heart stays in a regular rhythm.
Then the doctor will continue to assess and determine what course of action we will
move towards. No surgery yet! Pray for healing!!!
Other side effects with the meds are shortness of breath (symptom of the Arythmia
too!)
No/Low energy with an average heart rate of 40 to 50 beats per minute.
Others include Headaches, extreme dizziness and a feeling of cobwebs on the brain.
Am not processing things in my brain well.
I am also having to watch the continued numbness and tingling in the left leg.
Doc says its a circulation problem that is attributed to the meds.
A case of the cure being nearly as bad as the condition.
I appreciate everyone asking to be included in updates and for your prayers.
The doctor has nearly cleared me for an upcoming vacation with Miss Chris and the
boys in Tennessee July 6 thru the 16th. Please pray that all the rest of the things
go smoothly.
That's all for now...
Be blessed...
In His Grip,
Greg Phillips
