Just an example of how awesome God is

I haven't really told this to many people but a little over a week ago my Grandma got appendicitus (she's 83, its uncommon but obviously can happen). She got taken to Whangarei hospital where they did nothing for 40 hours. My dad was very upset by this so phoned them and told them how this whole thing was gonna work, if-ya-know-what-I-mean. After they got a talking to by him they went to operate on her to take out the appendix. By this point, the appendix had perforated (started to tear open, allowing all the puss and gross stuff to enter into the rest of the body). The operation went well and my Grandma got sent back to Kaitaia hospital where she stayed for a while. All this time my Grandma looked TERRIBLE! Really pale and disorientated = not a good sight. When she finally came home she was still in a lot of pain and not looking very good.
She was covered in a rash because it turns out she is allergic to morphine, which she was on to help ease some of the pain. During this time my little brother was praying for God to heal her, but it didn't seem to be working. I also prayed for her to be healed before I went to bed, just because I thought I may as well do it. Two days ago my dad finally decided that we had to take her back to the hospital because she was still in heaps of pain and looking terrible with that rash all over her. When they did blood tests at Kaitaia hospital they found out that she had started to get sepsis because of all the appendix gunk that was released into her body after it was perforated. Soooo.. bad sign. A woman of her age can die from sepsis so this was quite worrying.
My parents drove my grandma to Whangarei hospital.
That night around 12:00am, according to my Grandma, she felt a hot burning sensation enter her body on the side where the appendix is, swish around, and then leave again.
The next morning they did scans and stuff, and there was absolutely nothing wrong with her.
All the infection was gone.
Just like that.
How exactly do you explain that other than to acknowledge the fact that the Lord healed my Grandma? It is so amazing!!! It just goes to show that if you pray, He really will help you out if that is His will.
All glory be to God!
