T2E-D22

Hello Friends and Family,

We thank you for once again checking-in at Trudy's Blog. The last 48 hours have been a roller coaster.

Yesterday, the doctors felt that there was so much decline in the functioning of Trudy's lungs that she was at a point of imminent risk. While there is no doubt that her condition is gravely serious, their prognosis is now on hold. We met with Dr. de Lima this morning and he feels that Trudy has a little more time...time for the lung decline to be reversed...time for her bone marrow to produce White Blood Cells. We know that timing is critical and that the lung reversal must happen shortly.

As today unfolded, we did see some encouraging signs in Trudy. The oxygen level in her blood increased, her kidney function once again improved, and her blood pressure was well controlled. While conclusive evidence eludes us at this moment, higher than usual WBC's were present in her afternoon labs. We are praying for a reversal of the decline in her lungs and for her bone marrow to begin producing WBC's...there is early signs that this miracle is a prayer possibility. Thus, we intensify our prayers to touch God's great heart.

God bless you, each person, each prayer. May the Peace of God be with us and especially with Trudy.

Blessings,
Trudy and Robert, and our dynamite family
