Liz and Nickolas looked at her expectantly but there was no sorrow on her face.
Nik was about to ask ehr about Lucky but Liz said,"Just let me wake Luke and Laura first."
She shook them adn told htem Bobbie was here.
"The transplant surgery was a success," Bobbie said happily.
Liz nearly fainted in relief. She turned and hugged Nik exuberently then Luke Laura and even Lulu.
She was barely listening to Bobbie,"He ahsn't rejected teh pancreas or anyhting. He is still under anysthetic, but will wake up in about an hour. All signs indicate everyhting is fine and the cancer hasn't spread to other organs."
Everyone was ecstatic. Lis was about to go call Gram to tell ehr the good news when she realized Gram was gone. It dampered ehr spirits.
"I'm going to go call Father," Nickolas said," he said to call when we found out how Lucky was going to be."
Luke was so thrilled he didn't even bristle at the reference to Stefan.
"my baby's going to be okay!" Laura exclaimed, cring tears of joy. Her husband embraced her.
"Lucky's okay Liz?" Lulu asked, "Really and truly?"
"You bet sweetheart!" Liz said, sweeping Lulu up in her arms,"Your big brother is going to be just fine!"
The crowd decided to go to the cafeteria for a bite to eat while they waited for Lucky to wake up.
As they passed the chapel Liz told them she'd meet them down there, she ahd somehting to do.
She knelt before the crucifix at the front of the little hopital chapel and prayed.
"I feel compelled to thank you for letting lucky live God. I wish the way he lived wasn;t so painful though. I'm sorry I doubted you when Lucky became sick, it just hurt so much to think of living my life without him. I'm also here to pray for Gram. Just to make sure you know, she led a great life. She was no saint, but she was a good women."
"Please accept Gram into heaven. Her death hurts but at least Lucky now lives. It's like that saying about you,'Where ever God closes a door he opens a window.' Look after teh spirit of my dead grandmother adn tell her I loved her."
"I know we're not supposed to pray just when the going gets tough, but thanks for granting all our prayers. It may have destroyed Lulu's faith if you hadn't answered her prayers for Lucky. Again, thanks for you mercy." Liz crossd herself.
She stood up to go join lucky's family in the cafeteria.
