October 12 Update:


"Mom and dad said She's not on the ventilator anymore, but she is still receiving oxygen. She had been receiving 100% oxygen before, and now they have already been able to lower it to 24% only now. They're weaning it down slowly.

Maybe you can explain exactly what that means? Mom is a little confused between which is the ventilator and how she's being given oxygen. Tita Josie's nose is already free (nothing attached there anymore), but she still has the tube to her mouth, which I am assuming is how she's being given oxygen.

Her kidneys are ok, and mom said her attending physician said her blood count is ok already, so no more need for additional blood transfusion. Mom said they are waiting for the pulmonologist to give the go signal as to whether she can be transferred to a regular room."

Thanks to all your concern.... Ina
