Today was a test of our patience

Monty had two doctor appointments today. We left the house at 7:20. We got about 3 miles down the road and realized that we did not have his gallon bag full of medications. We turned around and went back to the house. We were making good time until we got stuck in stop and go traffic for 45 minutes. Monty was already tired because he did not sleep much last night. I called the infectious disease doctor's office and explained that we were stuck in traffic and would be late. We finally arrived 2o minutes after our appointment time. Monty had to get his morning IV started in the car. We had to wait forever at the doctor's office. I went to the window twice and explained that Monty has only been out of the hospital for a week and a half. I further explained that he is weak, has been up half of the night and has an appointment at the cardiologist's office in an hour. They finally called us to the back. The doctor came in. We talked with him for a few minutes. He is going to extend the length of time Monty is on IV antibiotics. He still has about 3 weeks of IV antibiotics left. He told us that most people with strep infection in the heart never make it out of the hospital. He also said that he is "hopeful that this will turn out well." WHAT? I am fairly certain that this man needs to work on his bedside manner just a bit. I can't believe he actually said that to us. I was about to get upset with him but decided I wasn't going to waste my breath. Honestly, I haven't been impressed with him since he was assigned to us at the hospital. Enough about that. After leaving there, we went to the cardiologist. Thankfully, she is a very kind lady that has some compassion for people. She said that Monty was doing well. His new heart valve sounds great. She adjusted his medicine a little. The only concern that she has is that Monty needs to gain some weight back. Anyway, that was our day and my patience was definitely tested. Please keep praying about the strep infection in the heart and that Monty would continue to regain energy and strength. Thanks!
