La cantante cristiana Amy Grant anunció en las redes sociales que se había recuperado milagrosamente después de una cirugía a corazón abierto el 3 de junio.

En febrero, Grant dijo en un comunicado en Twitter que sus médicos descubrieron que tenía una afección cardíaca desde su nacimiento.

Since February is heart health awareness month, I want to send a shout out to my doctor, John Bright Cage.

Después de someterse a una serie de pruebas, se determinó que la condición cardíaca de Grant, el retorno venoso pulmonar anómalo parcial (PAPVR), requeriría cirugía.

La mujer de 59 años compartió fotos de sus cicatrices posteriores a la cirugía en Instagram y comparó su experiencia con ser "una no corredora que se inscribió para una maratón".

Hi everybody…. I know there is so much going on in the world right now. This is a crazy, broken, yet beautiful time. And in the midst of all of that - in the midst of all of our awareness and becoming and learning to love and see each other - I’ve had this really unique experience of having an unanticipated open heart surgery. The only way I can explain my experience would be to ask you to imagine a non-runner who was signed up for a marathon. I didn’t want it, but I had to have it anyway and it was a week ago Wednesday. And as people heard about the surgery I started getting messages: “I’m praying for you” …“I’m praying for you”. People I worked with decades ago, people who have come to my concerts or listen to my music, my work family, people on social media, and my own friends and family all offered their prayers. And now, ten days later, I just want to say, from the moment I went to the hospital, if it really were a marathon race, I felt like I got into that runners block and as soon as it was time for the race to start there was this massive West Texas wind at my back.. just pushing me through. Even stuff I was really scared about felt like nothing more than just a deep breath and something supernatural pushed me through it. My recovery has honestly felt miraculous. And so I want to say thank you to each person who said a prayer for me. Prayer changes everything. Let’s keep those prayers going for our country and lets turn all the brokenness into love and seeing each other. I love you. Amy

Agradeció a su familia, amigos y admiradores por su apoyo y oraciones.

"Honestamente, mi recuperación se ha sentido milagrosa", dijo. "Y por eso quiero agradecer a cada persona que dijo una oración por mí. La oración lo cambia todo".

La cantante terminó el mensaje instando a sus seguidores a orar por nuestro país durante "este loco, roto y pero todavía hermoso momento".

"Mantengamos esas oraciones por nuestro país y convierta todo lo quebrantado en amor y en vernos los unos a los otros. Los amo", escribió.

Grant, quien ha estado casado con el cantante de música country Vince Gill durante 20 años, es seis veces ganador del Grammy con éxitos crossover pop conocidos como "Baby, Baby", "Every Heartbeat" y "That's What Love is For".
