We are asking to add Lisa Schlitz's daughter to your prayers Sunday and Monday.
Lisa Schlitz is our buyers agent and she is a member here on Active Rain. Her daughter is having open heart surgery Monday morning at 6 a.m. I asked Lisa to explain the surgery so that we know what to pray for:
"It’s a congenital heart defect (VSD) that is causing the aortic valve to prolapse, harden, and leak. She needs the hole repaired so it will be open-heart surgery-they will do a bypass, stop her heart, repair it, then take her off the bypass machine. Surgery will be 6am on Monday."
Her daughter will remain in the hospital for a week after the surgery.
I know that Lisa is super stressed as any of us mothers would be. I spoke with her daughter the other day who is nervous but confident. She says she wants them to video tape her heart when it is opened. The doctors declined the video tape. I know that is for liability reasons. But we thought it was so brave of Lisa's daughter to even ask.
We pray that God will guide the hands of the surgeon and the nurses in the operating room and that the surgery will go well and Lisa's daughter will have her heart repaired and live on to reach all of her dreams. I am also asking for the Holy Spirit to be with Lisa to calm her and give her peace.
Sometimes in the stress and turmoil of our lives we may not always have our trials removed but we can always pray for the Lord to abide with us and fill us with his peace.
Thank you all.
