As Day Twelve ends, Jenny’s day today was uneventful. In this case, uneventful is not a good thing. The ophthalmologist team that I was told would arrive today to revisit her eyes and their condition did not show up. I am desperate to know anything about the condition of her right eye as it still does not respond, does not open, and does not react to stimulus such as the flashlight test. I do understand that Health Sciences Center holds thousands of patients and a part of me acknowledges that Jenny is just one of those thousands, but I was told two days ago that today, October 16, the ophthalmologist team would come and review her eyes. I waited anxiously but patiently for two days only to be greeted by no one. As for Jenny’s vitals for the day, respiratory wise she looks ok and her skin is doing well according to [Redacted upon request], the nurse assigned to Jenny for this rotation. [Redacted upon request] took some time out of her busy schedule to hear a little bit about Jenny’s story and she was very empathetic and caring which meant a lot to me. Jenny will starting taking oral anti coagulate for blood clot avoidance to prevent pulmonary embolism for 7 days then her blood will be monitored again. She is scheduled to see the Plastics team “eventually”. I had to ask what the Plastics team meant, thinking it was an acronym for something complicated, but Plastics team is just short for Plastic Surgery team who also specialize in the nerve endings in the face. Her right leg is starting to move more, and she is able to cross her legs which means her right hip area is strong enough to do that motion. Lastly, today we recorded our CBC Canada interview which is scheduled to air tomorrow, October 17.
