Our Dad, John Theofiles, is facing a big medical challenge. After a week in the hospital he was transferred to Jefferson in Philadelphia and had cranial surgery on Friday, Oct. 23rd. But, he did not wake up after surgery as expected. He is not in a coma, but has not yet regained consciousness. Our Mom, Lois, has not left his side. Because wonderful friends are asking how best to support them at this time, we created this page. A gift of any amount will help with Mom's continued expenses of lodging, parking, meals, and loss of income while she remains in Center City Philadelphia to be Dad's advocate. Please continue to pray for Dad and Mom. We are praying for skilled doctors who are able to find the problem and fix it. The longer Dad remains in this state, the more vulnerable he is to infection. Please pray for Mom's strength, protection, and peace. Thank you all so very much for your support.
