Not too much to report as most of the changes with Rosina are very small and swing from day to day, or even during a day, and I don't feel like posting all that. She is continuing with all the treatments that she's been getting. She'll probably stay on the ventilator for a while as she needs to build back her strength. One of the unfortunate aspects of this is that she can't talk, and I'm quite sure she wants to. I know I'd like to hear her. So we stay positive and look for her smiling.
UPDATED - Rosina had two procedures today, a bronchoscopy and fluid removal from her stomach. The bronch showed no signs of bleeding which they expected, but there might be some aspergillus which she's already receiving antibiotics for (do you really want to know all this?) and they'll do tests.
They pulled a bunch of fluid from her stomach which was good and probably relieved some pressure on her lungs. It could have also been hindering her ability to absorb the food she's been getting.
The other good news is that her White Blood Cell count, which had dropped and then risen just a bit up to a 1.2 range, was up to 3 this morning and 5 this afternoon. That rapid rise is kind of how it went up the first time after the transplant. That's good, as of course she wants her white count up.
Many people have been here in the last few weeks visiting and helping and it has been inspiring for all. Thank you all so much for your tremendous help.

Guenta firme Pedro! Da-lhe Rosina! Vamos nessa!
I was in to see Rosina today. It was good to sit with her even though she was sleeping and didn't know I was there. I was the only visitor just then, so the room was quiet. I talked a bit to her nurse Kate, who obviously loves Rosina and all of the Hastings family and friends. I could see how much she wants Rosina to get better...I just loved her for that. We all want to be our best selves for Rosina! She inspires that in people. Love from Nancy
