Cansada assim/That exhausted
Dia cheio de sustos mas na última visita a UTI Mercuri estava melhor.
Emotional roller coaster today but in the last ICU visit Mercuri was feeling better.

What’s in store for us?/O que nos aguarda?
(Português abaixo)
As I stand here, glancing out at the view from the hospital, I can certainly say that I do not know. To the right, Araça cemetery. To the left, the bustling district of Pinheiros. And far ahead, my beloved mountains. My last name is Yamamoto (山元) or base of the mountain. My chosen name is Haikaa (ハイカー), the Japanese pronunciation for the English word hiker. I shall keep on climbing.
Thank you so much for being with me during this crowdfunding campaign which ends today https://www.kickante.com.br/campanhas/mercuris-road-recovery . I have received love in ways I had not imagined possible. In reaching out to you, I have learned that in life sometimes we help, sometimes we get helped and it is in this beautiful exchange that love blossoms and grows. Thank you very much for your prayers and continuous support. Thank you so much also for having tried contributing towards our fundraiser. The Brazilian platform was not prepared to foreign contributions but I appreciate all of your attempts any way. A friend suggested Western Union, so if any of you would still like to contribute, here’s my information.

Diante dessa vista do hospital, eu posso lhe garantir que eu não tenho a resposta para essa pergunta. A minha direita, o cemitério do Araça. A minha esquerda, o burburinho de Pinheiros. E ao fundo, as minhas adoradas montanhas. O meu sobrenome é Yamamoto (山元) ou base da montanha. O nome que eu mesma me dei é Haikaa (ハイカー), a pronúncia japonesa para a palavra inglesa “hiker” que significa escaladora de montanhas. Sigo a minha escalada.
Muito obrigada pelas orações e pela torcida. Muito obrigada de coração por estar conosco durante essa campanha que se encerra hoje https://www.kickante.com.br/campanhas/mercuris-road-recovery Desde que lancei a campanha, tenho recebido manifestações de amor de todos os lados e dos jeitos mais encantadores e inusitados. Ao me abrir para vocês, aprendi que na vida, hora ajudamos e hora recebemos ajuda. E é nessa troca, que o amor floresce. Obrigada ❤ (at Instituto do Câncer do Estado de São Paulo (Icesp))

Party Time/Festa
Having a lovely birthday lunch celebration in between two ICU visits with my very understanding party mates (sister-in-law and my niece, the lovely birthday gal) who knew I needed to have an early lunch, to eat and leave.
At the hospital, it was a good day. “Things are going quite well” said the same sweet doctor from last Wednesday. A kind, amiable doctor makes such a big difference, it’s like his words reached deep in my soul bringing me a sense of much needed peace. Thank you Doctor. Mercuri talked very little but he kissed my hand and told me to go home because I looked tired. That’s so Mercuri, even in ICU, he’s taking care of me. Thank you very much for your prayers, positive vibes and continuous support. Thank you so much also for having contributed towards our fundraiser which ends in 1 day https://www.kickante.com.br/campanhas/mercuris-road-recovery Friends from overseas can support us too via Paypal. Here’s how to do it https://tinyurl.com/y2dgxoom The payment is pre-approved and your contribution will only be withdrawn from your Paypal account at the end of the campaign. I guarantee to you that it’s confusing, everyone who’s done it has said so. Sorry for the nuisance, I wanted to do this on gofundme but I couldn’t launch a campaign from Brazil…
Curtindo um almoço de aniversário, entre uma visita de UTI e outra, com duas companheiras muito especiais e compreensivas (cunhada e sobrinha aniversariante) que sabiam que eu precisava almoçar cedo, comer e partir.
No hospital, “as coisas estão indo bem” como disse o mesmo amável doutor de quarta-feira. Que diferença faz quando um médico é carinhoso, humanizado, parece que a notícia chega mais fundo no coração e traz paz. Muito obrigada Doutor. Mercuri falou pouco mas beijou a minha mão e me falou para ir para casa porque estava com cara de cansada. Esse é o Mercuri, cuidando de mim mesmo na UTI. Muito obrigada pelas orações, pensamentos positivos e pela torcida. Muito obrigada de coração também por ter contribuido para a nossa campanha que acaba em 1 dia https://www.kickante.com.br/campanhas/mercuris-road-recovery

Caregiver Care/Cuidados de Cuidadora
Three weeks ago, right after Mercuri’s 8 hour surgery, I fell terribly ill. Although the worst part - fever, phlegm, fatigue - is gone, the cough remains. Here’s my arsenal: corticoids, antihistamine syrup, natural sedatives, herbal tinctures of all shapes and sizes, multivitamin supplements. Here I go again, first ICI visit of the day. Thank you very much for your prayers, positive vibes and continuous support.

Há três semanas atrás, logo após a cirurgia de 8 horas do Mercuri, eu fiquei doente. A parte mais chata - febre, secreção, fadiga extrema - já passou mas a tosse continua. Meu arsenal: corticoides, xarope anti-histamínico, sedativo natural, tinturas de ervas de todos os tipos e multivitamínicos. Aqui vou eu de novo, primeira visita na UTI do dia. Muito obrigada pelas orações, pensamentos positivos e pela torcida. Muito obrigada de coração também por ter contribuido para a nossa campanha que acaba em 1 dia https://www.kickante.com.br/campanhas/mercuris-road-recovery

Doctor says Mercuri’s getting better but he’s still in ICU… Will try to get some rest tonight, drink a nice cup of tea, do some meditation.

B4 entering ICU/Na entrada da UTI
The moments preceding my entrance in ICU are highly emotional. The last I heard from him was during last night’s visit and there’s so much going on in my head. Today, for example, I was told to head to the surgery waiting room as he’d been taken to the surgery room!!! Fortunately the ICU nurse let me in and told me he’d gone up for a simple procedure to remove a urinary catheter. In times like these, thinking positive is important but certainly not enough. You have to ask, to trust and let go. Honestly, that’s very hard to do. Thank you very much for your prayers, positive vibes and continuous support. Thank you so much also for having contributed towards our fundraiser which ends in 2 days https://www.kickante.com.br/campanhas/mercuris-road-recovery Friends from overseas can support us too via Paypal.

Feel free to message me if you have any questions.
Os momentos que antecedem a entrada na UTI são intensos. Sem notícias desde a última visita no dia anterior, são muitas coisas que se passam pela minha cabeça. Hoje, por exemplo, me informaram que ele havia ido para o centro cirúrgico. Felizmente, foi realizado apenas um procedimento para retirada de cateter urologico. Em momentos como esse, pensar positivo é bom mas não o suficiente. É preciso pedir, confiar e entregar o que é muito difícil.
