Numb
An hour later:
Paramedics rushed to the house and were able to get Sam to the hospital. Jessica followed the ambulance to be with Sam.
It may have been just a bad migraine, but they had been so consistent and Jessica was afraid Sam was going to have a stroke.
Jessica let her family know what was going on and told everyone to stay home. Jessica was scared out of her mind but didn't want others to worry.
Sam was put in a dark room and Jessica was able to go be with him while they did blood tests.
"Sam... how do you feel?" She whispers as she looks at her husband who had IV's in his arms and ice packs around his head.
"I'll be okay... don't worry." He whispers
"Don't worry? Sam you were on the ground about to have a stroke." She cries
"Baby, listen to me. It's just a migraine. I'm sorry I scared you. Hopefully they can fix me up, give me meds and we can go." He struggles to say
Jessica sighs and strokes his hand.
"I love you, but I don't want to talk or do anything right now." He says
"I'll be quite." She says

Sam was so sick and in so much pain. He could barely move for a few hours until the doctors were able to help the pain subside.
It was around midnight when they finally were able to get answers.
Sam was sitting up finally. He had a cup of ice water in his hand and a stress ball in the other to help him relax. He hated hospitals.
"I'm going to let you go home and send you back with some medicine. I think these migraines are tension migraines. They can come from stress and or strenuous work. I suggest you take it easy the next few days, get a massage, stop with construction and sit back." The doctor says
"So it's just tension? That's it? What about the pain, that's all from tension?" Jessica asks
"Jess..." Sam says
He didn't want to stress Jessica out any more than she already was.
"Yes, just tension. Blood tests came back normal."
"See, love, I'm fine..."
"The passing out though..." Jessica whispers
"Jessie, I'm okay. Really." He smiles

A few days later:
Sam followed the doctors orders and stayed home from work to rest. He had been taking the medicine when he started to feel a migraine coming. The kids were back with Jessica so things were going back to normal.
"Good morning, do you want something to eat?" Jessica asks Sam as he walks into the kitchen
He gives her a kiss and shakes his head. "I'm alright, love." He smiles softly
"Sam, can we go sledding?" Wyatt asks as he gazes out the window and sees mounds of snow.
"Not today, baby. Sam is still not feeling well." Jessica answers for him
"We can."
Jessica gives Sam a look then huffs. Jessica sits down with the kids while Sam pours a cup of coffee for himself.
As he goes to pour it into the cup, a sense of numbness shoots down his right arm. Suddenly, he drops the coffee pot which hits the ground and shatters.
It startled everyone and scared Sam half to death.
"Oh my goodness, Sam!" Jessica says getting up
All the kids looks over at the mess.
"Kids, stay in your chairs. There's glass everywhere." Jessica says
Sam stood there and couldn't move. He still have his cup in his hand.
"Honey, are you okay? Sam?" She says
Sam snaps out of his numbness and looks at the ground.
"I'm sorry, It slipped out of my hand." He says, not telling her the truth that he couldn't feel his right arm.
"Watch your step. I'll clean this up." She says
"I'm sorry-"
"It's fine, did you cut yourself?" She asks
"No... no..." he says
With his left hand he squeezes his right arm until he gets feeling again. He didn't understand what was happening with his body, but he sure didn't want to say anything to Jessica.

Sam had a bit of a scare this morning and decided to stay in bed. He wanted to tell Jessica so bad, but he was too afraid to know what was going on with his body. He knew his loving wife would rush him straight back to the doctor to find out what was going on.
Jessica took the kids sledding in the back yard while Sam stayed inside and slept.
"Mommy, I wish Sam was here." Wyatt pouts
"Sam isn't feeling well, remember?" Jessica says
"I thought you were mad that he made a mess!" Scarlett says
"No honey, I'm never mad at him! It was an accident." Jessica giggles
"Is he really sick?" Wyatt asks
Jessica shy and shakes her head. "I don't know, baby."

Later that night after the kids were asleep and the house was clean, Jessica cuddled up in bed with Jessica.
"Hey love, how do you feel?" Jessica asks as she cuddles next to her husband.
He wraps his cold hard around her and sighs. "I feel like shit." He mumbles
"Sam, I want you to see another doctor. This has been going on for so long and I'm actually very worried. This isn't normal!" Jessica insists
After what happened this morning, Sam agreed. This wasn't a way to live. No matter how scared he was, he knew he needed to find out what was going on.
"God forbid something happen to you... I wouldn't be able to live with myself."
"Jess, there's something I need to tell you." He admits
"Oh god, what?" She says
"This morning I woke up and I felt off, next to the headaches I felt like I lost control of my body. The coffee out this morning, I dropped it because I went numb. My hand literally went numb!" He says
Jessica's face goes blank. Hearing this scared her beyond straight. Something wasn't right.
