Difficult situation admin_xor . You dealt with the situation well on the back of an emergency ... but did you have the authority to make the change?
In a formal environment you needed authority from the duty Change Control Manager to go ahead with an Emergency Change.
This could have backfired big time.
Take care.

(I've had a Director out of bed to authorise a minor change when the duty Change Control Manager did not respond).
