Holy God,
Grant healing and rest unto Barbara as she recovers from surgery, and may she be restored to complete health, in the Name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

<Prayers up for Barbara Bush. May she recover completely, to enjoy many more years with her beautiful family.

Amen.

[Lacey]

I wish her a smooth recovery...but just wondering...is there such a thing as a Closed Heart Surgery?

[Palladin]

Some of it is open chest surgery, but anything with the aorta, they’re actually opening the heart.

[Revolting cat!]

Well, yes, that's when they send a tiny robot through your veins to do some work in the heart (that's all I know, not being an Internet Surgeon.)

Get well soon Gentle Lady,we miss your class. Our family will be praying for her.
Did ABC really refer to her as X instead of former? It sounds like they are missing the class that the Bush family has.

No, but as far as missing both Bush first ladies and the Reagans.

[lonestar]

I have two friends who have had open heart surgery done by BB’s doctor. He’s good.

[Brad’s Gramma]

Mrs. Bush, follow your doctor’s orders and you’re going to be up & around in no time...feeling a Whole Lot Better in SO many ways!!!!

Prayers for a speedy and complete recovery!

Dear G-d, please bless and protect this magnificent woman.

Thank you for that photo. We visited the Bush Presidential library last week, my younger son is a big fan of Millie and her puppies. He loved that each stop in the place had a little dog house with the answers to the questions on his clipboard. Also the dog house that was made to look like the White House was a big hit.

[Ditter]

God Bless Mrs. Bush. Get well soon.

God bless her and a speedy recovery. If this was an elective surgery before the aorta dissected she should make a full recovery. I’m not a doctor of course, just someone with aortic dillation and must keep an eye on it from year to year.
