“So, it was a very anxious time for me and my mom, and for our family, but praise God, he had a great operation, [he’s] recovering well…So I’m just grateful… so, so grateful. Prayer is so powerful,” she added.
Catriona also elaborated on the condition of her dad.
“It’s a heart operation. So, my dad had to undergo a very major heart surgery so with it being a major operation, it’s just, you know, it’s something you want to be optimistic about. But also, you just kind of have to prepare yourself. It’s much harder also that I wasn’t even here when the operation was ongoing. And more so, if I was, it’s very limited visitor capacity at the hospitals at the moment here in Australia, because they’re actually experiencing their first-ever COVID surge,” she said.
