She is a pin cushion

My poor little Drew has turned into a pin cushion. :( They tried all last night to get a new iv line on Drew. Her little veins keep rolling over. They have now decided to do a central line which lasts longer than the previous lines which only last a few days because her veins keep blowing. They called the nurse who was certified in doing pic lines (central lines). She finally came around 3:30 today and tried 2 times while little Drew was screaming her head off. The whole process lasted 30 minutes and she could not get her vein. They decided to give her something to sedate her. Well, she threw that up but she still got enough to knock her out. They tried again, still nothing.
I just called there and the nurse said they were going to try again in an hour. Please pray that it works because if not she will have to have a surgery to get the line put in. And even then they won't be able to do that until Wednesday. They said the next step will be to shave her head and try and get a line there. Her hair finally just starting growing longer.
And just to top everything off now they have a potential hurricane headed our way.

I got on the phone and requested prayer from some of God's prayer warriors and I'm praying, too, that they will be successful in getting the iv line in and have the wisdom to handle everything just as God would have them to do. Prayer is going up FERVERENTLY. A good report is on the way.
