Rosina loves the ocean. When she was a teenager in Rio, she would swim way way out from Copacabana beach until she could look over the buildings and the near hills and see the Corcovado staute. Along the beach she could barely see her father walking in a white oxford shirt, just a speck. More than once, it was a long swim back. She knows the ocean is powerful.
A set back today. Again, as they slowly weaned her from the meds to let her wake up, her oxygen started to drop. I called in last night around 9:30 and they had started to increase the oxygen coming through the vent. This morning, her xray was cloudly, and they did another broncoscopy. There is more bleeding there. So she's back where she was, twice before, sedated and on the ventilator.
Hug your children!

Its a cloudy day in many ways, I guess, but it looks to be breaking up out to the west. I will pray it does so inside too.
Love and strength to you both. (and your homies!)

My heart aches for you and Rosina. This is a tortuous struggle as Rosina continues to swim hard against the tide. We are all pulling for Rosina.
Lots of love, Valerie
Yes, we are all indeed pulling for Rosina -- holding our breath, just waiting for news of her lungs getting stronger, and healing. I'm sure she knows we're all around her. So much love to you all. xx Betsey
Yes, much strength and courage through these hard times. Like the ocean, Rosina will come back to shore.
Let's all hope that it is not such a long swim back.
Peter, our love to you while we all tread water, eh?
