routine surgery these days and for a hospital to even have an open heart program there is a requirement to due a minimum amount per year (most programs perform at least 500 cases a year with many doing 1,000 or more). You’ll be fine. Let us know how it goes. God bless.
pillow. Though I have not had open heart surgery, everyone I knw who did found it an invaluable help post-surgery. Hold it close to your chest and hang on when you need to cough!. I had liung cancer surgery ages ago but there was no pillow that could help be with my side and back when I had to cough or sneeze.
Good luck, and prayers also for a sppedy recovery!.
God bless you for a speedy recovery.
St. Michael the Archangel,
defend us in battle.
Be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the Devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray,
and do thou,
O Prince of the heavenly hosts,
by the power of God,
thrust into hell Satan,
and all the evil spirits,
who prowl about the world
seeking the ruin of souls. Amen..
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thine intercession was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my mother; to thee do I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me.
Amen.
And Saint Joseph, Patron of the sick, Pray for him.
