Hospital Floor Prayers

The story below comes from Vi R. and is a testimony of answered prayer for the life of her husband. 

As I sat in the corner of the hospital floor following my husband’s surgery, all I could do was pray. Butch and I were serving as resort missionaries in Texas and he had suffered a triple heart attack and then a triple bypass surgery all in the matter of a few hours.

The doctor was a Christian  who encouraged me to go home and keep the prayer line open.  He would not allow me  to  remain in the hospital with Butch. Our children were not able to meet us until hours later.

After only about three hours the nurse in SICU called to tell me my husband was wide awake. Ask anyone who has experienced this type of situation, and you’ll know that this does not typically happen.

 The next morning the doctor looked at him and could  only say “Praise the Lord.”  He didn’t think he would survive the night. 

That was in 1992 and his heart is still pumping strong and he is still taking care of me. God bless him.
