The road's been a long one for Darel... but he's in it for the long haul!

After dialysis today, they weren't able to stop the bleeding in the fistula that connects him to the dialysis machine.  He's been having trouble for a while now... but the doctors kept hoping that they wouldn't have to do surgery again. 

Unfortunately, the vascular surgeon who would normally treat Darel is already on vacation... so he's on his way tonight to Antelope Valley Hospital where they will likely perform surgery in order to stop the bleeding and repair the damage in his arm.

We'll appreciate the prayers of our family & friends as Darel take on this new challenge...
