					<description>Sybil, 

I can relate. I had heart surgery in the form of &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.heart-valve-surgery.com/aortic-valve-replacement-surgery.php&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;aortic valve replacement&lt;/a&gt;.

Whooo-weeee. What an experience. All the fear, uncertainty, doubt... All the struggle of recovering from a broken sternum and stitched heart / aortic valve... 

Still, I am beyond thankful that my aortic valve is now doing quite well.

Great to hear things are going better for you two!

Cheers,

Adam</description>

					<description>Dear Sybil,
My blessings and thoughts of positive healing to you. By now you have had your surgery and I hope are well on your way to recovery. I have been recovering from pneumonia for several months and have been thinking about mortality. We take our lives for granted until we realize how fragile life is. I love the beautiful flower that your blog has become and thanks for all of your hard work.  
Warmly,</description>

					<description>Wow. I'm sorry that I haven't been around to read this and know what was going on and pray for you. 

What an amazing story. And I am so glad you found healing from your fear. I have an inordinant amount of fear---I know that, and I pray for help with it. 

Bless you.</description>

					<description>My thoughts and prayers are with you.
In the short time that I have been reading your pages I have learned so much about infirmity and the truest meaning of health and faith.  Your ability to embrace and articulate surrender is endlessly moving and is taking me a long way toward understand my own little physical hiccups.
May the One hold you in the sweetest state of safety and beauty.  I eagerly await all of the &quot;bigger and the better&quot; you might share with this little corner of the world.
Blessings,
Marisa</description>

					<description>I am glad I stopped by this evening so that I can start praying for you. Come back and report on your surgery when you feel up to it.</description>
