Lyn, I know from experience that this is a very difficult situation for what are outdoor plants in an indoor environment. I think you can manage in the summer with the bonsai in front of an open window 24 hours a day. However, the winter becomes difficult. The hot, dry indoor air in winter is hard on the bonsai. BTW, the common name for your bonsai is Japanese Garden Juniper. They are excellent species for bonsai but are not, sorry to say, indoor plants.
I'm attaching a link to a site written by a very expert bonsai man and horticulturist. Read it and see if you can take his advice, and I wish you, and of course your husband the best of luck, and I hope he is home soon.
