Como siempre, Saludos cordiales a todos.
Hoy fue un otro día de cola en el Banco Municipal de Sangre. Ayer no hubo jornada y hoy solo iban a procesar 30 donantes, asi que antes de las 3 AM ya estaba en el sitio.
As always, Best regards to all.
Today was another queue day at the Municipal Blood Bank. Yesterday they did not work and today they were only going to process 30 donors, so before 3 AM I was already on site.
Esperábamos cuatro donantes, pero solo dos pudieron asistir.
We were expecting four donors, but only two were able to attend.
A las 4 am ya habían más de 30 donantes reservados en cola (cada persona usualmente está reservando lugar para más de un donante).

Mis donantes llegaron a las 6 am y pasarían de primeros.

Muy agradecidos con mi sobrina Verónica y con el señor José por su generoso apoyo.
Very grateful to my niece Veronica and Mr. Jose for their generous support.
La mañana transcurrió sin novedades. Me ocupé de la rutina de desayunos, exámenes a laboratorios, etc. mientras los donantes se desocupaban.
The morning passed uneventfully. I went through the routine of breakfasts, lab tests, etc. while the donors did their thing.
Aproveché que mi hermano Francisco estaba disponible para ir a comprar un segundo gavetero para poder guardar organizadamente todo el material médico y los medicamentos que se han acumulado.
I took advantage of the fact that my brother Francisco was available to take me buy a second plastic chest of drawers so that we could organize all the medical supplies and medicines that had accumulated.
Luego procedimos a organizar el dinero traído desde Cumaná por el Abuelo de 
Then we proceeded to organize the money brought from Cumana by @manujune's Grandfather. This activity that we mentioned in the previous post allowed our relatives to receive cash donations among the attendees at the mall.
Un total de $119 aproximadamente que se suma a los donativos hechos por otros medios y que nos ayudan a cubrir todos los gastos diarios.
A total of approximately $119 which is in addition to the donations made by other means and which help us to cover all daily expenses.
Mientras esperábamos la sangre para la transfusión del medio día, llegó la tarde y con ella la expectativa ante el evento de hoy:
While we were waiting for the blood for the midday transfusion, the afternoon arrived and with it came the anticipation of today's event.
Aún no tenemos videos y fotografías oficiales del evento, pero ya sabemos que fue todo un éxito y las emociones se desbordaron desde Cumaná hasta Caracas.
We do not yet have official videos and photographs of the event, but we already know that it was a great success and emotions overflowed from Cumaná to Caracas.
Fue muy emocionante ver la cola para entrar al Palacio Episcopal
It was very exciting to see the lines to enter the Episcopal Palace Auditorium
Y más aún la agradable sorpresa de ver por video llamada a la abuela de
And even more so the pleasant surprise of seeing via video call @manujune's grandmother singing on stage for the first time in many years. Her health has not been good at all and she has already lost strength in her voice. However, for this presentation, María Concepción Vera shined, showing off an energy that we thought was lost.
Y así con la noche llegó la sangre. Esperamos que la noche y la transfusión traigan un merecido descanso, aunque mañana toca ir a la clínica para la resonancia magnética.
And so with the night came the blood. We hope that the night and the transfusion will bring a well-deserved rest, although tomorrow it is time to go to the clinic for the MRI.
Una vez más, muchas gracias a cada persona que ha apoyado y continúa apoyando.
Once again, many thanks to every person who has supported and continues to support Manuela Valentina in her healing process.
