Journal entry by Nate Metcalf —
No change in Jenni’s overall state or responsiveness today. No better…no worse, just holding steady. All vitals and everything remain good…the only things that get out of whack are her blood sugar (due to the steroids) and her sodium level (apparently a trait of cancer). Both getting controlled by meds.
Infection cultures are negative still, so they’re feeling good about that direction. However, even after getting to this point, it can take days for a patient to come out of the state she’s in. She also got her 3rd round of Ommaya chemo today. As always, we wait patiently to see how she responds.
