Meanwhile.....
Marisol, Brad and the kids, headed home for supper.
"What would you two like to eat tonight", asked Marisol.
"Can we have Pizza and wings Sis"? asked Cody.
"Sure , we can do that". "How about you Desti"? "Desti"?
"She's sleeping with the puppies sis".
"Okay, we'll let her sleep". "Next stop the Pizza Palace".
Meanwhile.....
Claire was getting supper ready for the kids and HJr.
"HJr"! "Do you want potatoe's, or home fries, tonight with your meatloaf"?
"What do you think guy's"? "Fries"?
"Yeah"!!! "Fries sound great". "Hey HJr, does my sister know how to cook"?
"Of course she does". "Fries sweetheart".
"Okay, they'll be ready shortly". "Arthur, Austin and Kenya, set the table please".
As the kids got up to set the table, Hjr went to check on Claire.
"Are you feeling okay sweetheart"?
"Yeah"! "Much better, now I've had a talk with Kenya".
"I told you, all she needed was her sister's love".
"I know, you were right", said Claire as she kissed him.
Meanwhile....
"H" was doing so much vomiting that Calleigh thought for sure she'd have to take him to the Hospital.
"Come on Handsome, you need to go".
"Just leave me be Calleigh, I'll be fine".
"Listen you stubborn fool, you are dehydrated, you need I.V. Fluids". "So either we go, or I call 911".
Knowing he had no choice, "H" tried to get out of bed and collapsed on the floor. bEing by herself, she wasn't able to lift him , picking up the phone she called for an Ambulance and informed them to wear masks and gloves. Once they arrived they loaded "H" onto the stretcher and wheeled him out to the Ambulance. Picking up her cell, she called the kids.
"Hello"!,, said Marisol.
"Angel it's mommy , I need to let you know we are taking daddy to the Hospital".
Marisol could hear the Sirens. "Why mom, what's the matter"?
"Your dad is dehydrated and passed out". "I'll call you when I know anything".
"Okay mom, I love you."
"I love you too Angel, let HJr know okay"?
"I will mom, Bye".
After she hung up the phone with her mom, she called HJr in tears.
*crying** "HJr, daddy is being taken to the Hospital, mom said he passed out".
"What"? "When"?
"Just now HJr, she called and told me too let you know".
"Okay sis, calm down and keep me informed".
"I will, I love you HJr".
"Me too sis", Me too".
When Calleigh and "H" arrrived at the Hospital, he was taken into a quaretine room, as safety precaution. Starting him on I.V. fluids, they did blood work, pressure's , temperature's and oral swab. To help with his breathing, they inserted a small tube through his nose, down into his throat. Once he was settled and treated to their satisfaction, they had Calleigh put on a gown, gloves and mask, before she entered the room.
When she got in there, she could here his raspy breathing. In fact, if she didn't know better, she could have sworn, he had Pneumonia. Sitting beside him, she held his hand and whispered how much she loved him.
"Don't you dare leave me Horatio, you hear me"? "The kids and I need you".
As she bowed her head, the doctor came walking in.
"Mrs.Caine"?
"Yes, that's me".
"I'd just like to inform you that your husband has not only Norwalk, but Pneumonia on top of it". "Right now, his immune system is having trouble fighting two infections". "What we are going to do, is start him on fluid Antibiotics". "I can't promise this will work, as his infection has progressed very quickly". "If you have any questions, please let the nurse know and she will page me".
"Thank you doctor", said Calleigh with great pain, because she knew, when she told the kids, they were going to be upset.
