Stomach Bug.
Requested by @Cookiemonster596
Will-
It's been one month after my code blue incident and today I feel.... terrible. I woke up at five in the morning with stomach cramps and a cough.
Now currently-8 in the morning- my stomach hurts, I'm running a fever, my throat is raw, and I have... dare I say it, diarrhea. I know. Gross. I also have a terrible cough, which makes me want to puke every time I cough. Because of my cough I can't take my cannula out. An IV is sticking out of my arm with liquids going into my veins to keep me hydrated.
My stomach grumbles and I stood up-dizzy at first- I grabbed the pole to wear my IV attached to the water bag and pull it to the bathroom with me.
I exit the bathroom after being in there for five minutes. Sorry, TMI. Anyway I laid back down on my bed and pull the covers all the way to my chin.
I close my eyes to go to sleep but my computer rings signaling Stella is calling to do our treatments. I pull the blankets-five of them- over my head and ignore the call.
Stella-
I woke up and showered before putting on black joggers and my grey sweatshirt. I pulled my hair into a ponytail and walk out the door to Will's room.
I knock but he doesn't answer. I frown and walk back to my room and sat on my bed. I was about to grab my book of the bedside table and open it to read but my phone dinged.
Morning treatments.
I opened my laptop and clicked on Will's Skype. It rang for a while but he didn't answer. I shrugged it off. Julie or Barb is probably talking to him. I decided to do my treatments with out him.
Line break-
Weird. It's Wednesday. We eat lunch together on Wednesday's. I look around and take a bite of my salad but he never shows up.
When I'm done eating I stand up and throw my trash away. I walk down the hallways and wave to Gus and Hazel before continuing to the NICU.
I stand in front of the glass and watch the new baby with CF being tended to by a nurse. Someone opens the door and I smile thinking it's Will but no. It's Barb. I give her a small smile.
"Hey Barb." I say and she hands me a milkshake. I sip it and taste the sweet chocolate milkshake. I sigh.
"Hey, Hun." She says. "I have to go help Oliver with his meds." She turns and walks out of the doors. I decide to head back to my room.
Line break—
Will-
I wake up from my-I look at the clock- five hour nap. So it's now 2:00 pm. My stomach cramps and I feel something rise in my throat. I grab the bucket next to my bed and we'll, throw up into it but there's nothing left to throw up. So all that's left is bile and water and it hurts.
Tears slip out of my eyes as I rest back down on to my bed and wheeze. I find my nebulizer and breathe deeply into it.
After I'm satisfied I turn it off and hear my stomach growl so I shoot out of bed and go to the bathroom, rolling the pole with me.
I exit and sit back down on my bed. I grab the remote on the Bessie table and turn on the TV to watch, whatever is on. I click on enter show here.
Julie enters my room maybe an hour later and hands me some crackers. She smiles at me in sympathy and covers me up with my blankets. She takes a thermometer and puts it in my mouth then waits patiently and refills the bag with water.
The thermometer beeps and she takes it out. She shakes her head and feels my forehead. She then takes my wrist and checks my pulse.
"Symptoms?" She asks me.
"My stomach hurts, my throat hurts, I have diarrhea, I have a cough, my lungs are tired, and I'm tired." I rasp out. "And I'm really cold."
"Okay, well do your meds then get some sleep." She says and I do just that.
Stella-
I click on Will's name again and he doesn't answer. I sigh worriedly and rip a piece of paper out of my notebook.
I write,
Will, you haven't been answering our calls or answering the door. You didn't even show up for lunch! I'm worried about you! Please answer tonight. You need to do your treatments if you aren't doing them.
I'm worried. Answer me please. I love you, Will. So much.
Love, Stella.
I fold the letter and walk out of my room and to his. I slide the letter under the door hoping her will get it and call me back. I walk back to my room and sit on my bed and continue to read, Divergent.
Line break to almost 11:00 pm.—-
Time for night treatments. I have done my nebulizer so it's just my pills and vest again tonight.
I strap the vest on and lay upside down. I sit back up and spit mucus into the bowl then I check my phone for any messages. None.
Will-
I exit the bathroom for like the fiftieth time today and lay back down. My fever is going down so I only use three blankets but I'm still bundled in a sweatshirt.
I've done my nebulizer and vest today. The vest made me throw up but you know. I grab my meds for before I go to bed but before I can take them I sneeze and snot comes out my nose and into my cannula.
Great.
I grab a Kleenex , take out my cannula, and wipe my nose and clean my cannula before leaning over and throwing up again. I sit up and rinse my mouth out with water.
My computer dings and Stella's Skype shows up. I weakly click the accept button. Stella's concerned face shows up on the screen.
"Oh my God, Will! You scared me!" She places a hand over her chest and breathes deeply. Her voice monotoned because of the vest and she coughs mucus up. "You wouldn't answer! Did you get my letter?"
"Letter?" I look over by the door and see a white piece of paper laying on the floor. "Oh sorry, I must have been sleeping."
"Will, are you okay? You don't seem too good." She says and her eyebrows scrunch together.
"No. My stomach hurts, my throat hurts, my lungs are tired, I have a fever, I'm throwing up, I have diarrhea, my legs hurt, I'm freezing, and I just don't feel good." I say and take my cannula out and sneeze into a Kleenex. "Sorry I didn't answer you."
"Don't be sorry!" She says quickly and hold her hands up. "Are you still doing your treatments?"
"Yeah, Julie came in and helped me." I said and reached for my nighttime meds and washed them down with water. "I'm going to puke them back up though."
"Well lets just hope you don't." Stella tells me before she smiles. "I love you."
"I love-" I didn't get to finish before rushing to the bathroom.
I come back out and lay back down on my bed. "Sorry. I love you too."
"It's okay, Will. Stop apologizing." She says.
"Okay. Sorry."
"Will!" I laugh a little and so does she. My stomach cramps and I grab the bucket, sit up, and breathe heavily into it. "Let it out, Will. You'll feel better after."
Then I throw up. Bike, water, and crackers. I screw my eyes shut in pain and hit the nurse button. Julie runs in. "What's up?"
I rest back against the turned upright bed. "My chest burns." I cough.
"Here, rub this on it." She hand me a blue bottle. "Press the button if it doesn't work."
"Thanks." I say as she walks out and rub the cop stuff on my chest that soothes the pain. I pull the blankets back over my chest.
Stella-
I watch as Will pulls the covers up to his chin and lays sideways so he can look at me through the computer. I smile at him.
"Remember our little dance in the cafeteria?" I ask and he laughs raspy, his throat raw from vomiting and coughing.
"And our wheelchair race." He whispers. I nod.
"And I ran into the wall." I laugh and lay down, the laptop on my stomach.
Barb walks in and hands me some yogurt and water. "Thanks." I say and she smiled then walks out of the room. I eat my yogurt before turning back to Will.
"I wish I could be there with you. Comforting you and taking care of you like every normal boyfriend and girlfriend would do." My smile falls of my face.
"Well, Stella. We aren't normal and you are helping me by just talking to me. I'm feeling better already." He says then hops out of bed to go to the bathroom. I roll my eyes. And shut my light off. He comes back and shuts his off too. "You still there?"
"Yup. And I'm never leaving." I say and we talk the rest of the night.
How was it? I hope that's what you were thinking of.
