In 2002, my husband had a heart attack and had to have emergency surgery. I drove 2 hours to the hospital in Columbia, MO. He had another heart attack when we got to the hospital. After 4 hours into the surgery the surgeon came out and told us to pray cause things were not going well. He was in surgery for about 9 hours. Our pastor and our family were on our knees praying.
