Bill survived the 5 hour surgery!

My husband Bill had lung cancer. He was under the knife for 5 hours after them delaying the surgery that was scheduled for 7:30 the night before to noon in the morning and he actually went at 2:30. The surgery itself was a success. They were able to do it with small incisions and not crack his ribs thank God. Because of all your prayers the surgeon's hands were guided by God. But in intensive care it was a nightmare. They had to tie him down so he wouldn't pull out the tubes especially the breathing tube. When I saw my strong man all tied up and a tube down his throat it was too much for me. He looked like he was dead. I broke down and had to get out of there. I stayed at my youngest boys house and did manage to get 4 hrs sleep. Getting ready to go back. My middle son stayed in hospital room with him.

Please continue to pray for his recovery. Thank you.

I am praying for your whole family.

My prayers are with you and your family. I went through this with my brother this past April. Thankful to God that he made it. They removed half of his right lung and he is going through radiation in 2 months. He started chemotherapy right after he had his surgery. Your DH is in great hands as long as you leave him in Gods.

My prayers are with all of you. I, too, have been in your shoes, and it does get better. xo

Wishing ur husband a speedy recovery. I kno that can be hard to witness. I'm glad u have ur family with u!????

You're all in our thoughts and prayers. I hope Bill makes a very speedy recovery. x

Prayers for you and your family. God Bless

Prayers for Bill's recovery and for strength for you to cope with this stressful situation. XX

You are all in my prayers, stay strong.

So glad to hear he made it through the surgery well and with a less invasive procedure. It's hard seeing a loved one in a state like he was, but just give it a few days and prayerfully all will be much better. Don't forget to take care of yourself during this time, make sure you are getting plenty of rest, fluids and don't forget to eat as well. I will be praying for a speedy recovery. Take care and God bless!

My thoughts and prayers are with your husband and the rest of your family!!

Sending you hugs and good wishes

Prayers are going for Bill and all your family.

Praise God!! nd many more prayers headed ur way! God is an awesome God...Amen:)
