surviving a tough trial...

Hello dear friends, I've been away for a week here in Mylot. As some of you know, my beloved grandma was diagnosed with gastric cancer and will be needing surgery. That's the first step of treatment. She was confined in the hospital a week ago, and had her operation. We were so worried, because the operation took so long, her blood pressure before the operation was way too high. It is nerve-wracking to be waiting outside the operating room, not knowing if she'll come back. We prayed so hard she'll survived this. And she did. I want to share this to some of my friends here who were also worried and praying for her. She's now home, still weak from the operation, but the worse had been over. The doctors said she had a fast recovery for her age, and been able to stay at the hospital in just a week. I've been her personal nurse during her entire hospitalization so I didn't had time to go online. I wouldn't reach my payout today,but it doesn't matter, coz I'm too happy to survive a tough trial my family went through. Faith is what it takes to get through uncertainty. Thank you for your prayers friends, and please continue to pray for her fast recovery.

Happy that your grandma has survived the operation. And that she's back home. I hope you continue to nurse her well so she could make a complete recovery. Don't worry about the payout. Like you said there are other more important things in life. And you would only recognize it when you pass through trials such as this. Regards to grandma!
