Heart of gold or The 8 week Journey

This journey begin with my husband waking up burping. That was his only symptom. Before the day was over, he had been given that liquid gold shot to bust up clots, twice, a ride in an ambulance and an emergency stint. We look at the screen, 5 majors blockages, some called widow-makers. It is the Friday before Thanksgiving and I am thankful that he is alive, but we have a long way to go on this journey. He has 5 by-passes before we leave the hospital. The staff was great, especially the nurses on the cardiac floor. Friends and family all came through for us in so many ways and God blessed us. Back home I think that the worst is over, but it is not. Almost losing him was hard enough, but the pain in his chest is causing so much pain that he can not sleep or get any relief and depression is setting in. I can not stand seeing him with his head in his hands saying things like, it was not worth it. Early in January, I was reading my bible through again ,so I was in Genesis reading the story about Abraham's servant and felt like I would not get any answers here. There it was, on Sunday morning, scripture jumped off the page and it knew it was for me. The servant prayed for his master and I needed to pray, and ask my sunday school class to pray for him. Next, I picked up my lesson book, and it said that life begins at 50. Mark does not like a lot of attention so I had to come up with one sentence. Please pray for Marks chest to stop hurting so that he can fully recover. I noticed Monday that he did not complain about his chest. Then, on Tuesday he said that he must be getting better because he was thinking more about his belly than his chest, lets go for a walk. We have been walking ever since. The date was January 16th, 5 years ago, the day that I got Mark back. So, now I have 2 anniversaries, June 16 and January 16. Mark is a new man and appreciates every day.
