God Is Able: Praise Jesus and Pray for Mike

We pray to the God who does immeasurably more than we ask or imagine. (Ephesians 3:20) Because God is able.

The last 2 weeks, I’ve shared our journey since my husband’s heart attack on November 18. Mike’s been in critical care now for a month. Yesterday, Mike had open-heart surgery to remove the temporary heart pump and place the permanent heart pump into his lower heart below the Left Ventricle.

The surgeon explained the risks during and after surgery and possible complications. The OR nurse called my phone every 2 hours for updates during the surgery. Finally, the heart surgeon consulted with me and my family.

Praise Jesus the surgery went well. We’re so grateful.

God Is Able

But we continue to pray to our God who is able. Here are a few ways to pray:

• They are watching his blood output from the drainage tubes coming from his chest. If it keeps increasing, he may have to go back to OR to find the source, clean, and fix. We knew this possiblilty for after surgery.
• For his kidneys, they put in a dialysis line on most of these surgeries, just in case, but so far his kidneys are doing well.
• For his continued recovery in the next 2-3 weeks to get stronger.

Again, we are so thankful for all of the 1000’s of prayers, messages of concern and care, and support coming from all of you and from around the world. To God be the glory.
