My husband will undergo open heart surgery soon. It’s being scheduled for sometime over the next week. While I am optimistic about his ability to recover and thrive, I would appreciate all the prayer warriors out there to say one for him. For us. For our family. Thank you!

People are more important than the relationships they are in.

I have a lot of intuition and I think your husband will be fine - I'd like you to keep this thought in your (and his) head as it sets up the base case scenarios. As a natural worrier and anxiety ridden person, I understand this kind of thinking all too well, but I find the things that throw us for a loop, that cause real problems, are not the things we know about but unexpected things. I think your husband may be difficult to keep quiet afterwards for recovery but may be the type to become restless and impatient and want to get back to "normal" life perhaps too quickly. He'd have to learn to be patient. But I think he'll be fine with the surgery.
What doesn't kill us, makes us stronger. Use anger as a tool and mercy as a balm.
