Narrative:

The aircraft was dispatched with bleed one deferred as per MEL 36-00. I was the pilot flying and the captain was the pilot monitoring. On the climb at approximately 28;000 MSL we received an EICAS message 'bleed 2 fail.' we immediately donned the oxygen masks and crew communication was established as per memory items; stopped the climb and divided duties according to the [operations manual]. The captain notified ATC that we will be descending to 10;000 MSL due to loss of both bleed systems. I initiated the descent while the captain was performing the qrc procedure for bleed 1(2) fail. The captain performed the qrc procedure and the message cleared and it did not appear again. According to the qrc; given our scenario it instructed to 'continue with normal operations' at step 10 since the message was cleared successfully. During the descent; the cabin pressure altitude went from 5000 feet to approximately 7000 feet. The entire time we did not receive a 'cabin altitude hi' warning message and the masks for the passengers did not deploy as per the system logic of the aircraft. The captain also started the APU and asked me to notify the flight attendants and passengers of the situation; and I did. At 10;000 MSL we were able to hold normal cabin altitude since bleed 2 had come online when the captain had accomplish the qrc procedure. The captain also contacted dispatch via commercial radio and notified him of the situation and the qrc procedure that he had accomplished and the subsequent result of accomplishing the qrc procedure; maintenance was also notified of this exact information. Upon review of the situation and with the concurrent decision of the dispatcher and maintenance and with reference to the qrc we decided it was safe to continue to our destination and resumed normal operations as the qrc instructed. The captain notified dispatch of the current fuel on board and our current position and we were sent new fuel numbers to the printer via ACARS. We had adequate fuel on board to continue and climbed to FL300; while monitoring systems for any abnormalities throughout the flight. I updated the flight attendants of the outcome and made and an announcement to passengers. The EICAS message did not re-appear and the flight ended uneventfully.
