As Day Thirty-Eight ends, Jenny’s vitals continue to be stable. The floor was understaffed today due to multiple sick calls so instead of the normal staff the C.R.N. Charge Nurse (the boss) was assigned to Jenny today. His name was [Redacted upon request] and it was my first time meeting one of the executive Nurses. I was quite intimidated at first since this is the authority figure that makes the decision whether or not to kick me out every night after official visiting hours are over. I always try to stay beside Jenny until after she sleeps so I am the last thing she sees every night, but I have been asked to leave before. With great relief, after I talked to [Redacted upon request] for the first time he said he has already seen me on the floor many times and that I am welcome to stay past visiting hours whenever he’s working as I have shown I am not someone who will cause trouble. I am so thankful to hear this from at least one of the executive Nurses.

Today was another monumental milestone as today was the very first time Jenny ate food. It was only Jell-O but it was still food she ingested orally. In the same excitement to seeing that Certificate of Achievement award on her door yesterday, I was ecstatic to hear Jenny being able to eat food. Unfortunately, by the time I got there she had already ate so I will have to until wait tomorrow for my chance to feed her on my own. Lastly, Doctor [Redacted upon request] did not show up today for the decision about the stomach peg insertion but will be visiting tomorrow.
