All's well for now~

God is good!!! My great-grandmother pulled through!!!

The surgeon himself was shocked how she bared through it, even after giving signs of near-death before she was taken down to the Operating room (she fell unconscious and suddenly started to gasp for breath. My mother and my cousin's mother-in-law began to pray feverishly at that moment, and the nurse was convinced she was dying, but then my great-grandmother came back to us.).

I accompanied Mom to the hospital to see my great-granny one more time. It was hard to maintain a straight face when--upon arriving--her two daughters (my grandmother and grandaunt) burst into tears each on one of my shoulders. (I don't know how I managed not to cry. I stood there like: O_O)

Great-Grandma was in a daze, but she recognized my voice and kissed me hello. After a while, when it was time for me to leave, I said: "God bless you, Mama. See you later."

 Mom then sent me off to my cousin's house because she said she didn't want me to wait so long (I complained, but she beat me when she said: I'm more at ease knowing that you are in her house than here). So to take away a worry from my mother, I left.

I don't think I've ever been so anxious in my life. It's horrible to sit and wait for a call that could hold the news of someone's death. Every time the phone rang in the house I would leap to my feet and stand before my cousin holding my hands in anxiety. I thanked God every time she said that everything was going along well.

It took forever to get her into the operating room (in my country's hospitals as so SLOOOOWWW!) and the surgery lasted about 4 hours (I thought it was going to last a whole lot :/). We received the call when she was taken to Intensive Care (or Post-Intensive, I'm not sure right now), and she was awake. To everyone's surprise, she was aware of her surroundings, was not pale, and even teared up when they had to leave her.

Of course, the most dangerous part is now. Her body could collapse from the surgery, so we are cautious. But if God worked His miracle in the Operating Room, I'm sure He'll pull her through the rest. We are all exhausted now, but relieved.

These next few days are going to be very busy~
