June 28.. midnight Italian time And tomorrow Saturday, the Full Moon... looks like yesterday we have a full moon, thinking all around the globe we send to Ja the best of all together healing energy, a month has pass by, and we don't exactly know if the have work or not. I guess, Ja is better now that she was last moon, wonder... if really the help happens....? For yesterday, Ja feel better and better and enjoy the fruit season in Italy. Also Ja's uncle Rod and wife Anita, arrived in Rome to visit us, this full moon going to be very family oriented..:) Another day tomorrow, but is another full moon day, and for this one we hope that the next full moon, Ja watch from the roof of our house... :)

June 26... before midnight Italian time... Today, 30 degrees hot in Rome!!.. everyone was out with a sweater today....almost ...:) Ja have again a calm day with few moments where the fever climb up, after the medication the fever come down, and in between, she have time for smoothie, a good diner and a movie... I know everything sound good, but still the fever don't walk away. Constantly at the clinic, they perform all type of checking and rechecking of Ja's condition, and even if they find that everything is ok, in this type of transplant, the source of the fever is 50% know and 50% unknown. The first they need is White cells count up to fight any infection, second the production of red cells from the bone marrow, and then the platelets to start a normal functionality of the whole body. Ja is going in this direction, just is a slow process. She feel good overall everything and confident, and we are confident in Ja's life force.

June 12... ( pass midnight Italian time...) New color in The Rome Update, we moving into another feeling....J Yesterday, was a surprising day because all the number in Ja's cellules counts going up. This meaning that we have hope again, something is growing in Ja physically, ready her spiritual side has developed allot between before the transplant and now J The fever still there.. but is also a omen that a bone marrow start to take place in the body. The graft for bone marrow is around 20 days, today is day 14 and ready some symptoms. Well is not for start to jump around, is more to be meditative and thinking uuhmmm...?
Lines for Ja... I'm ten years old. Your story touched my heart. My mother e-mail was telling Ja to breath in positive energy and breath out negative energy. Well I think that a good sleep always helps when I'm not feeling well so what I recommend is to close your eyes, rest you head and say to yourself "I will be better tomorrow" and continue to do this until you are better. Hopefully this will help and although we have never met I'm hoping that some day we will. You've inspired many people. P.S. will pray for Ja every night. ------- I am just sending love, always thinking of you ------- Enjoy your roses and your garden. Aren’t we blessed to live in such a beautiful world. ------- Scrolling through your journey is humbling to say the least. Your love, your courage, your strength, the support around all of you...is only inspiring. Wishing you only healing days ahead. ------- We are so happy with your good news…I’m sure it is a positive sign that things are going to keep improving ------- I hope you will soon be able to fly like the beautiful butterfly on your website, free from your hospital room that is your cocoon.

June 11... ( midnight Italian time...) Hi to the Rome Update readers. Midnight is a good time to update the web, so we can talk about yesterday in full..:) And yesterday was a full day again for Ja. The Doctor removed Ja's Central Line; is a small tube attach to a principal artery close to the heart, they use to give the medication and transfusions. They did it because the persistent fever Ja have for few days. The fever still there, but if the line was the cause, the infection must stop in the next 24 hours. So far Ja feel better, eating and her lung infection looks like is almost cure. So far yesterday, was another busy day for Ja.
Lines for Ja... Give thanks for the moment, and pray that another will yet follow. ------- Our garden is filled with Rose bushes. Rose is the queen of flowers and a powerful healer. May the Deva of our roses here on the west coast blend with yours in Roma. ------- Love and hope for brighter days ahead...for the healing of the lovely and beautiful Ja. -------
As I have
watched you grow, I have seen you turn into a fine person and a beautiful
young woman.

At this stage, is hard to predict if everything still going in the same direction, but if she do few more days like today, I tell, she is home soon... Sound good eh?, but is hard to predict... :)
Lines for Ja... Believe in magic and wish on stars. Expect the best from life and that's what you'll get. ------- I wear the crystal necklace your parents gave me for my 60th and think of you every day. ------- The moon was beautiful that night. You all make us realize how small the world is. -------
You know who encouraged me to just be me.....Everyday
you are my inspiration...

June 2nd..June 2nd is the biggest Italian party: "The Republic Day". Ja's numbers are down. Platelets, plasma, white cell and blood are supplies trough the medical devices until Ja's own body start to produce everything. We don't going to have any result to next week. The fever is mild but not finish yet. We like to thank you to all the ones that has done few step into the moon dance in support of Ja. (Was a Pancho's idea. We know is not time to party, but is better to have a positive output.. ) We let know more about Ja, soon we can.
Lines for Ja... Thinking of you with so much love... and you will see it looking into the face of that big, blue, beautiful moon. ------- Dear Ja: While you have never met me, you have made a difference in my life. I would like to think that knowing what you are going through has made my troubles seem insignificant. ------- We’ll be sending positive energy, love and prayers from B.C, Alaska, Oregon and Vermont, through the blue moon to you. ------- ...you are so young Ja and have accomplished so much and have 'touched' so many hearts with your heart! ------- last night was a fundraiser......... there were east Indian girls dancing and one was smiling and singing as she danced and so full of love. she reminded us of Ja.....later when the dancing started we danced and danced for Ja.........we had the good fortune to dance to the full moon last night in honor of Ja, because as the mentor says, "when is the time to make joy? - - now! only now." Ja! so we danced and we danced to the full moon and later we went to the beach to watch the moonrise, it was big and orange and full of promise for health and good will. and we believe. we could feel the patience and love of Pancho and Sal waiting for the clouds to clear and the bright orange moon to come out in her glory. Ja! there are miracles afoot. be brave dear girl, we are all dancing for you. you have shown us beauty and spirit and joy, Ja! return to Ja, return to now. now is the time for life and miracles! we love you Ja!
