NADIA MONTENEGRO ON HEART SURGERY
Kinahapunan ng November 18, nagsabi si Nadia sa mga kaibigan na lilipat siya ng ospital sa BGC.
"They will pass the catheters through my groin up to my heart. I need to be awake. 4-5hrs procedure," saad niya.
Ang tawag sa gagawing procedure kay nadia ay "ablation."
Ayon sa clevelandclinic.com, ang ablation ay medical procedure kunsaan gumagamit ng hot or cold energy para gumawa ng "tiny scars" sa heart tissue. Ang pagpepeklat mula rito ay tumutulong para pigilan ang pagprodyus ng "irregular rhythms" sa puso.
Lahad ni Nadia (published as is): "Wala pang update if 9am or 2pm 4-5hrs to get to my heart pero 10-30mins lang Ablation procedure.
"Gising kasi daw ako the whole surgery. Mararamdaman ko kasi they need me awake. Bawal tulog. Diyos ko! Naiisip ko palang gusto ko na tumakas."
Kasunod nito ay nagpadala si Nadia ng litrato kung saan makikita kung ano ang prosesong pagdadaanan niya.
Lahad niya (published as is), “Sa groin ako icucut tapos papasok 2 catheter hanggan umabot sa [nerve]. They have to check if its not to close to the other nerve. Pwedeng ituloy pwedeng hindi.”
Miyerkules ng umaga Nobyembre 20 nang isagawa ang heart ablation kay Nadia.
"I made it," pagbabalita niya,
Kuwento ni Nadia, apat na minutong nameligro ang buhay niya.
Ani Nadia (published as is): "Although nag code blue kanina 4 mins ako nawala. God is good."
Ayon sa clevelandclinic.com, ang code blue ay hospital announcement na ang isang pasyente ay may medical emergency, na kadalasan ay "cardiac or respiratory arrest."
Agad namang nagpasalamat sa Diyos ang mga kaibigan ni Nadia na alam ang kanyang pinagdaanan.
Sabi ni Shyr kay Nadia (published as is): "Remember your body is not of a 16 year old anymore. But God is good.
"Yung 4 minutes mo, nag HELLO ka lang sandali sa Langit, pero sabi Papa God madami ka pa kase gagawin."
"Yes! True!" sang-ayon ni Nadia.
Sa kanyang Facebook account kahapon at ngayong araw, nag-post si Nadia ng pagpapasalamat sa Diyos matapos ang kanyang successful heart procedure.
"You are awesome! You are great ! You are faithful! Thank you Lord," kalakip ang tatlong emojis.
Sinundan niya ito ng isang YouTube video ng worship song na "Goodness of God," "What A Beautiful Name," at "10,000 Reasons."

YNNA ASISTIO GRATEFUL FOR SUCCESSFUL SURGERY OF NADIA
Maging ang anak ni Nadia na si Ynna Asistio-Carbonell ay nagpasalamat sa mga taong nagdasal para sa ina.
Sabi ni Ynna sa kanyang Facebook post kahapon, November 20: "Last week, she came very close to having a heart attack due to her Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome, a rare condition she has had since birth.
"This syndrome causes an irregular heartbeat and includes an extra valve in her heart.
"Her condition worsened last week, making it necessary to perform an urgent heart procedure," paliwanag ni Ynna.
Dagdag niya: "The procedure took place this morning and was successful. However, shortly after, she experienced a severe seizure lasting 2-3 minutes, which triggered a code blue in the hospital.
"Thankfully, she is now stable and recovering. Once again, thank you all for your prayers and support. Thank you Lord!"
May kasunod na FB post si Ynna kung saan ibinahagi niya ang pag-alala para sa ina.
Aniya (ublished as is): "One of the hardest realizations I had last night, which keeps replaying in my mind, is that I almost lost my mom.
"Yesterday, I was still numb from everything that happened, but the weight of it hit me when I got home.
"This moment serves as a wake-up call—not just for my family but also for me—reminding me how important it is to spend time with, love, and cherish the people we care about.
"Tomorrow is never guaranteed. Every day is an opportunity to express and show love, to tell those we care about how much they mean to us while they are still here with us."
Dagdag ni Ynna: "Let’s love more, be kinder, and be more present because we never know when the last time will be.
"Make the most of life, and if you're fortunate enough to still have your parents here on earth, know how blessed you are. Not everyone has that privilege. Whatever happens, love your parents deeply and unconditionally. Love your family unconditionally."
Kalakip nito ang larawan ni Nadia na nakangiti habang nakahiga sa kanyang hospital bed yakap si Ava Zafina Asistio-Carbonell o Zaffy, ang two year-old daughter ni Ynna na siya ring pinakaunang apo ni Nadia.
