As Day Nine ends, Jenny finishes her first 24 hours in the “Step Down” Ward. Her vitals have been stable with no adjustments to her medications. She is currently on a feeding tube, blood thinners, regular tylonel, along with two eye drops per day. She still cannot speak or respond to any instructions. She can only open her left eye periodically – when she does she looks around briefly but she does not recognize anything. She is able to move her left arm and left leg more freely and she is showing signs of movement in her right leg. Her right arm has not moved much at all. Her right eye is still shut and does not respond in any way, even when doing the flashlight test. I am worried that she might have lost her ability to use her right eye completely, but the nurses have said that due to the type of brain damage (diffuse axonal injury) and blood clots between the eye and brain, we must simply wait to see if she can regain any control of her right eye.
