👋HIGH 5s to Y'all this Cinco de Phil/PCPS🎂🎉

HAPPY 5/5 BIRTHDAY & 5 YEAR PRACTICE-IVERSARY to PHIL 5/5/5

This is truly a MIRACULOUS day of CELEBRATIONS with lots of HIGH 5s👋 Phil is such a TREASURED son, brother, husband, father, friend, colleague, surgeon, and beyond to his family, community, practice, & the Kingdom!!! He lives LIFE to the FULLEST and puts all his heart, mind, soul, and strength into whatever the Lord commissions him! We continually REJOICE in the Healing Ministry and Testimony of HOPE & RESTORATION our Great Physician has bestowed upon him🙌

And prophetically, this year also commemorates the 5th Anniversary of PACIFIC COAST PEDIATRIC SURGERY (PCPS)🏥 After 1️⃣5️⃣ very rewarding years of pediatric surgery and scientific research at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, the Lord opened the door for Phil to establish PCPS. It's a monumental blessing that his practice is closer to home while he still cares for children at hospitals throughout the City of Angels!

We remain exceedingly grateful for his “Office Family” of the past 5 years starting with Roxanne who helped Phil victoriously launch PCPS in 2019, Drs. Mai & Maggie and their gifted staff who share the office space and are like family to us, as well as PCPS "Manager/Medical Angel” Maureen who came to our rescue in 2021 (thank you for connecting us, Susan) and manages EVERYthing with her unsurpassable heart, multi-tasking, talent, & passion😇

And we are exceedingly grateful for Phil's close friends/colleagues from Cedars, CHLA, & UCLA that are also an integral part of the PCPS family! Not only have they shared call together, they even stood in the gap to provide exceptional care for Phil's patients and families during his own surgical emergency in 2021🏥

With Phil's life-threatening SAH, we didn't know if he would survive and the future of PCPS was very uncertain... and yet God intervened in saving and restoring "immeasurably more than we asked or imagine"🤗😭🤗 Phil fully, miraculously recovered! Thanking the Lord for each and every one of you, "Armies of Angels", for your LIFE-saving interventions & intercession that made that possible! 

Each day is truly a GIFT🎁 Phil thrives on the opportunity bring healing to God's precious children, work on medical/surgical teams, train future generations of surgeons, and do what he loves every day in his calling!

He currently collaborates with 2 of his favorite pediatric surgeons that cover call from time-to-time as their active calendars permit which gives him a break at least 1 weekend a month now. This is such an answer to prayer as PCPS has grown and provides services for more patients and hospitals.

On this 5th Practice-iversary and Phil's 5/5 Birthday, we are filled with PRAISE, APPRECIATION, & CELEBRATION!!!

Today, we had a belated Cinco de Phil/PCPS Party with the "Office Family" as you can see in the 5️⃣👋 photo. Hope y'all had a FUN Cinco de Mayo as well! Thanking God always for your loving support and healing prayers that have made Phil's 5/5/5 Celebration possible!!!

Abounding ❌⭕️s, High 5s👋, Gratitude, & Prayers🙏
