Sick

Jazlyn walked into the room where Ami, Abu and Dr. Kav were sleeping. "Abu! Ami!" She whined, trying to wake them up. Her chin and the front of her night shirt was covered in vomit and her usually curly, bouncy hair was stuck down to her forehead as she sweated profusely. Tears streamed down both cheeks. "Abu, please, I don't feel good." She

Carson came in as they were talking, reading her chart as he walked along. "David, Calvin, Nick... Wish I could say glad to see you. First of all, ye needn't worry much, it's just a bug. A bit stronger than Dr. Davies thought, but I've instructed staff that a consult with Dr. Baker won't be a bad thing. She is a pediatrician, after all. Now. Jazlyn here seems to have caught a bug during her last trip to the mainland, a rather unpleasant stomach flu. Yes, the convulsions were due to the fever. We're going to bring that down first, then put her through a round of antibiotics to clear up the slight bacterial infection. I'd like to keep her here for the rest of the day to make sure she's hydrated and gets all the meds. You should be able to take her home tonight, alright? If you'd like to sit with her in shifts, she'll be sleeping quite a bit

She didn't understand most of the stuff Mamu Carson was saying. And her head was hurting and she still felt like she would be sick, making even the easy words difficult. She did understand kolache though. She tried to smile, biting her lip as she did and nodded. "Ok...I'll be good. Ami and Abu can stay?" She asked tearing up again and burying her head in Lorne's chest.

He smiled and brushed the sweat=damp hair off her forehead. "Aye, love, they can stay. It'll only hurt for a second, then you can sleep and you won't feel sick or hurt, sweetie. Khala Rae would be so proud of how brave you're being."

He set up a quick IV with antibiotics and some anti-nausea medication, along with a light sedative. She grimaced as it went in and was taped on, tears escaping her eyes. Carson leaned over and kissed her forehead, then looked back at the men as she started dozing off. "I'll have Shelley bring a cool cloth and a basin for her face. She'll be fine, gentlemen. I'll check back in an hour or so. She'll sleep as the fever breaks. Please come get me if you need anything."

Nick nodded stroking her hair as she dozed off, "Thanks doc." He murmued with a soft smile.
