Still waiting

I talked to Andrew about 45 minutes ago.  His dad is still holding on, and still seems to be fighting.  As Catherine said, the marine in him doesn't quit.  If he were simply fighting an infection or something from which he could recover, we would be thrilled.  Unfortunately, in this case it is just prolonging the inevitable, and it's really hard on everyone.  If it weren't for the kids, I would have headed over to spend the weekend, but we don't want them to have to miss more school than necessary.   I also don't receive any paid time off, so it's not helpful for me to miss a bunch of work either.  Andrew is very worried that his dad is suffering.  Praying for peace and comfort for our family.
