Mommaās
Story:
On
July
6th,
2021,
my
Mom
at
72
years
of
age,
very
active
physically
and
mentally
suffered
a
brain
aneurysm.
The
neurosurgeon
for
that
procedure
was
none
other
than
Dr.
James
K
Liu,
and
with
his
team,
some
deep
prayers
and
hopes
of
a
miracle,
we
proceeded
with
what
would
be
the
most
heart
wrenching
undertaking
we
would
ever
face.
We
all
went
home
that
night
and
just
waited
for
that
phone
call
that
would
reveal
the
outcome,
in
hopes
that
it
would
be
a
miraculous
oneā¦and
so
after
quite
a
few
hours,
that
phone
call
finally
came
through.
I
remember
picking
up
that
phone
and
hearing
Dr.
James
K
Liuās
voice,
not
knowing
what
the
outcome
was.
As
he
let
me
know
exactly
what
was
done
within
the
procedure,
(which
sounded
like
the
most
nail
biting
thing
ever),
he
advised
that
the
post
op
would
be
crucial
in
finding
out
if
anything
concerning
my
Momās
functionality
was
compromised.
Dr.
James
K
Liu
assured
me
that
the
operation
was
a
success,
and
with
care
in
the
ICU,
my
Mom
would
be
in
good
hands.
Dr.
James
K
Liu
couldnāt
be
more
right,
the
attention
to
detail,
precision
and
outstanding
work
by
him,
his
colleagues
and
the
rest
of
the
team
at
University
Hospital,
my
Mom
was
aliveā¦and
it
couldnāt
get
better
than
that,
but
it
did.
With
each
passing
day,
the
24/7
care
of
the
ICU
staff,
prayers,
medicine,
and
pure
hope,
my
Momās
progress
was
getting
better
and
better.
As
the
doctors
and
nurses
would
come
by
for
her
evaluation,
they
had
determined
that
there
was
no
compromise
made
from
this
procedure.
Call
it
luck,
medical
science,
love,
fortitude,
or
as
I
would
put
it,
Dr.
James
K
Liuās
miraculous
hands,
there
was
no
doubt
in
my
mind
at
that
precise
time,
we
had
a
medical
miracle,
to
say
the
least.
My
Mom
was
in
the
ICU
for
less
time
than
what
they
expected,
into
her
own
room
for
less
time
than
what
was
expected
and
into
rehab
for
(yes,
you
guessed
it),
less
time
than
expected.
Momma
was
home
from
rehabilitation
at
Kessler
Institute
on
July
31st,
less
than
a
month
since
her
brain
aneurysm
operation.
Words
are
not
enough
to
express
the
gratitude
we
have
for
the
unbelievable
work
that
was
done
by
Dr.
James
K
Liu
and
his
staff.
I
had
the
privilege
to
speak
with
Dr.
James
K
Liu
on
August
31st
via
video
chat
for
an
update
on
my
Momās
progress
and
his
humbleness
just
added
to
the
extraordinary
work
and
knowledge
he
exudes.
So
as
I
end
this
story,
I
would
just
like
to
tell
everyone
how
amazing
it
was
to
have
had
the
guidance
of
someone
who
not
only
knows
his
occupation
but
who
carries
it
out
with
poise,
professionalism
and
extreme
passion.
I
didnāt
know
much
of
what
entailed
when
all
this
occurred
as
it
was
completely
new
to
all
of
us.
But
with
Dr.
James
K
Liuās
clarification
we
had
a
much
clearer
understanding
of
it
all.
I
am
and
will
always
be
grateful
for
Dr.
James
K
Liu
and
his
team.
Their
miraculous
performance
with
this
procedure
gave
us
all
a
second
chance
to
be
with
the
most
amazing
person
I
know
and
I
am
blessed
to
have
her
in
my
life.
I
am
not
a
patient
of
Dr.
James
K
Liu,
but
the
son
of
someone
who
is,
and
I
couldnāt
be
more
elated
with
such
an
amazing
outcome.
Thank
you
Dr.
James
K
Liu,
colleagues
and
team
for
such
a
tremendous
gift
that
you
have
given
us.
To
give
someone
back
their
life
is
truly
a
blessing
and
I
will
be
forever
grateful
and
indebted
for
your
service,
kindness
and
superb
knowledgeā¦#TEAMLIUā¦the
best
of
the
bestā¦ā¤ļøš„
