Dear Jesus #1 : Grandma's Surgery

Saturday, January 10th 2009



I woke up this morning at 07.30am.. I found my self alone with my maid.. My mom and dad went to the hospital early in the morning..at 5.00am..after getting a phone call from my aunt..
Grandma was having a seizure at 4.00am and in a coma since then..the blood vein on her brain burst for one more time.. this is the 3rd vein that burst. The first one happened 3 years ago when she lived in New York, the 2nd happened a week ago..
--
I was rushed and hurry went to Big's by taking a bus.. and it was raining.. *great* !! so me and Big went to hospital together and meet my family..
--
Grandma is still in coma when I arrive at the hospital..her upper body is paralyzed..she couldn't open her eyes or move her hands..but she can hear us and move her feet in a small gesture..later today she's having a MSCT Scan for her brain, apparently inside her brain now got water or some kind of a liquid, besides those bloods that filled her brain.. This water could be dangerous to her brain, because the water has filled the oxygen supply for her brain..The doctors suggests a surgery for her..the surgery itself took half an hour to one hour..
--
So later in the afternoon Grandma was having a brain surgery.. The doctors drilled a small hole on her skull and put a small kinda straw to make the water and the blood came out from her brain..they have to shaved all of my grandma's hair for this surgery..
--
When I sat down on the ICU waiting area, I saw my grandpa..He was sitting there in silence..
He looked calm tho'..but everyone could see sadness in his eyes.. He's not young for himself.. he's already 81 years old..but today, he was surrounding by all of his 6 childrens and other realtives..at one moment he spoke to my mom.. He told us not to worry too much..because grandma was in good hands..and we can't predict how ones life can turn out to be..he told us to let go everything, because God has planned all this and will give the best for the rest of us.. All we can do right now is pray for her..
--
Lord Jesus, please hear our prayers..

love,

..New Day..Big Hope!!..

Friday, January 9th, 2009


Grandma has turned better since yesterday.. They moved her to different room which is HCU (High Care Unit), one patient per room with 24 hours nurse controlling inside the room.. She looks in a good shape tonight when I visited her with mom and dad..
I showed her lots of pictures, so she could see her grand grandchildren and whether she can remember..and she did remember! it's a very good sign..
--
She was talking loud as usual and she got much better.. if she got better day by day, she might be out from the hospital on Monday.. *keep my fingers crossing*.. God bless you Grandma..

..It is Love..

Tuesday, January 6th, 2009


I went to visit my grandma today at the hospital.. I went inside the ICU with my grandpa and my auntie Felicia..and I saw my grandpa was holding my grandma's hand.. and he said, "Where's your ring?!" and my grandma said, "I took it off and left it at home.." but my aunt said, "No, I'm the one who took it off your fingers the moment you got in the Emergency Room.." and again my grandma replied, "I remembered I took it off and left it at home..!!"
My grandpa didn't say anything..he kept holding her hand while looking at me and whispering to me, "She forgot.." , I smiled at him..that's all I can do..it's the medicine and the disease that cause her forgot things and having a weird dreams..
--
Yesterday on December 5th, she was dreaming..she said she met Lord Jesus..He was smiling and waving to lots of people beneath Him..and my grandma was waving at Him too.. later that night, she was dreaming my grand auntie who died several years ago..
--
Lord Jesus, are You giving us a sign ??
--
Back to Dec 6th, that day in the ICU room, I looked at my grandpa and my grandma..they both looked inseparable..even they didn't talk much, but I can see the look of LOVE in their eyes..especially when grandpa looking at her.. and that time I was thinking *So this is what they called true love* and I'm very grateful that I can witness that true great love..
--
Just came back from the hospital and stay at grandpa's.. later that night, I was on the phone with Big when my grandpa give a pat on my shoulder and says, "Today is my 59th wedding anniversary with your grandma..." and i jumped up from my bed, looked at him and said, "It's today?!?!" , and he said again in smile, "It's only our 59th years..next year will be our 60th wedding anniversary.." and I was like *WOW!! what a Golden marriage couple* ..
--
My Lord Jesus, will they celebrate their 60th wedding anniversary together?

From Airport to Hospital

January 3rd, 2009

Third day in 2009 .. not a very good day so far..
--
Big came over to my place..grab a bite at Mc D and off to the airport to pick up dad from Spore.. the plane got delayed for one and a half hours in Batam..
Big and i was waiting at the Terminal I waiving area..
--
then i was thinking..
That the true happiness isn't about the things we got in our hands..isn't all about the cash we made, not for the things what we have back home..all the things we thought it was our treasure..but it is not..
It's the memories we got with the people we love..our family..our friends..that makes it a pure happiness..the time we share with the people we love..the bonding..the connection..the relations that means happiness...the events or occasions that means a lot..it stays in our heart..
but money / cash can't stay in our heart..so i didn't think that money can be a reason to a happiness.. for me, it's a supporting material in live..
--
and the shit has hit the fan
--
at 8.30 pm my Aunt Felicia called in sobbed.. my Grandma was sick..they're taking her to the hospital..she's having this Brain Aneurysm disease..the blood vein in her brain was burst, so it bleeds and the blood has filled her brain..
--
so i went to the hospital with dad in rush and the rest of my aunts was there..Grandma was having a great headache and vomiting a lot.. these are the symptoms of Brain Aneurysm.. *for those whose likely having a headache all the time, its time for you to have a check..because brain Aneurysm can occur in people off all ages, but are most commonly detected in those ages 35 to 60. But women are actually more likely to get a brain Aneurysm then men, with ratio of 3:2*
that night, Grandma was moved to ICU room (Intensive Care Unit) for her treatment.. and tonight I stays at my Grandpa's to accompany him..
--
Lord Jesus, please bless my Grandma..
