Hangin on a Glimmer of Hope

It's been 8 days since my aunt was hospitalised...gone thru brain surgery for her sudden brain tumour & haemorrhage & right now she is still in coma. At first, i was hopeful...then as days passed, she looked more n more lifeless, dependin fully on the life support machine.

I felt so helpless, dunno to hope for her to survive or that she would pass away quickly, peacefully without havin to struggle so much. The closest ones I noe, like me, have difficulty tryin to sleep at nite, torn with conflicted emotions, traumatised by the image of her hooked up to all kinda tubes.

Yesterday I hardly touched her, it felt like she was no longer there but tis mornin, my colleague said his grandpa undergo similar circumstances & he came back to live with lotsahopes, touches & care from the family. I decided not to give up so easily despite the deterioratin changes we see physically on her. Her heart, although assisted, is beating well. Perhaps her determination to live on is strong despite her failing brain.

Soon after, the son said she is now not relyin on medicine to keep blood pressure up.

Masya Allah....it seems today is a day of gladtiding. Indeed, God is with those who are patient, who seek help with patience & prayers....

Subhanallah walhamdulillah wa lailahaillallah, wallahu akbar!~

We shall not give up hopin for the best, till Doc says it's time. In the Lord, the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful, i shall put my trust & faith.

Amin
