Well, we waited all day for the doctor to release Cindy. At 8:15pm, we were told that Cindy couldn't be released because the doctor on duty was not qualified to take out her intravenous catheter. Only the special team of doctors that put it in could take it out and they don't work on weekends unless they're there for an emergency.
So despite everything that the Lord has done, and all the prayers he has answered over the last two weeks, Cindy and I resigned ourselves to the situation, since of course it would be impossible for a member of the special team to be in the hospital at 8:15pm on a Sunday night. Our faith was so weak, we didn't even bother to pray for such a miracle.
But praise be to God, he chose to answer a prayer that we didn't even have the faith to ask - yes, a member of the special team happened to be in the hospital at that time and was able to remove Cindy's catheter before he left at 8:30. Cindy was finally discharged around 10:30pm.
After a tour of downtown Baltimore looking for a 24hr pharmacy to fill Cindy's pain prescription, we arrived at the Scheihings about midnight.
Cindy is in a real bed sleeping and I am about to turn in. What an amazing way to end the 17 day hospital stay.
