Thank goodness it was an "easy" fix . . . does this mean Jess was actually a good omen rather than a bad one?

God bless the kindness of strangers - particularly nurses with info and coffee. :) They know a worried brother when they see one.

Hmm. Jess a good omen instead of bad. Not tellin'.

And as far as nurse Donna goes--really, who could resist Dean? Thanks for the feedback. Hopefully the last part will be up this weekend.

Yay! Thanks for letting me know this worked. I was getting a little worried people might not catch on. :)

Okay, my blood pressure totally shot up there. I definitely was not expecting the medical crisis. Very well done--you really got Dean's uncertainty and fear across. There's nothing worse than waiting for the paramedics. (Well, of course there are, but you know what I mean.)

I'm glad I had you wrapped up in the story to that degree. It's exactly what I was trying to do. And you're right, waiting for help when someone you love is in danger is a terrible thing. Thanks for the feedback--more soon.

Very nicely done chapter. I love your hurt!Sam and worried!Dean. How I love my angsty boys. *g*

Favorite lines:

Dean grabbed his brother's chin and used his command tone. "Open your eyes, Sam. Right now."

I love Dean using his authoritative voice, and Sam obeying.

"Paramedics are on their way." The woman's voice was calm, soothing. "What's your name, sir?"

Nice touch here, with the 911 operator getting Dean’s name and trying to keep him calm. I really like that detail.

Sam's fingers snagged his sleeve. "Dean? Something's...I don't feel--" His eyes rolled back in his head and his body stiffened, then began jerking and twisting.

Poor Sam! So much confusion and angst and physical pain, and then this seizure. He needs some love. *hugs him*

"Don't you do this to me, Sammy," he choked, smoothing shaggy bangs from his brother's pale face. "You hang on, or I'm gonna kick your ass. You hear me?"I love everything about this paragraph, from the way Dean touches Sam to the sound of Dean’s voice and those last two lines … Oh, boys. *

[iamstealthyone]

Yup, sleepy!Dean was just for you.

Yay for me! *bounces*

Sorry I couldn't figure a way to have shirt!off!sleepy!Dean. ;)

That's OK. Sleepy!Dean makes me very, very happy.

You're welcome for the help, and I'll look forward to seeing the rest. :)

I just found this at Limp!Sam and I love it so much. You really write Dean and Sam so well. I loved how Dean took care of Sam in the first chapter, with the cool wash cloth on his head and how Sam remembered it from when they were younger. I laughed out loud when Dean went shopping in chapter two and called carts “wimpy" and baskets “girly”. I could so see him thinking that. When Sam was getting sick and disoriented and it just kept getting worse, I knew there had to be something going on. I can’t say I was disappointed that he landed in the hospital. I just adore a hospitalized Sammy. That’s the Limp!Sam lover in me

Wow! Thank you so much. You really made my day with this lovely feedback. This Secret Santa thing has been so much fun. I'm thrilled that I brightened your holiday even though this wasn't your prompt.

And I made you cry? *hugs*
