Another Test of Patience - Waiting

As usual things don't follow our plan, and again we are waiting (trying to be patient).  Friday marked two years, but Friday evening Dad developed a fever (reaching 103), and he wound up back in the hospital.  It's been determined that he has a line infection, but we are also "patiently waiting" to see what else the culture might grow.  His appointment with Dr. Duke will have to be rescheduled for a later date while the issue at hand is taken care of.  We know that Tuesday he will have to get a new line.  With Dr. Duke's appointment postponed, we have a new prayer request.  These lines have proven to be very difficult to insert.  It seems that he has run out of veins to use.  We pray that they are able to find a vein on his upper shoulder to insert the line; so he can be as comfortable as possible.  He once had to have one of these lines in his neck and it was terrible!
