(On hold) My Brother...My Doctor

8. Okay

Back to Katie's pov.

I finally was able to open my eyes. As i did, i heard a beeping noise and hushed voices.

"Brian?", I questioned.

Brian looked up at me and quickly ran to my side.

"Brian, what happened?", I asked.

"Sweetie you had a concussion, Carlos get me a penlight", I said.

"On it", Carlos said.

"Angelica please notify Dr.Evans that Katie has waken up", Brian told Angelica.

"I'll go find her, Jim can you help me?", Angelica asked.

"Yes, of course", Jim said following her out the door.

Carlos handed Brian a penlight. "Katie look at the wall behind me", Brian told me.

Brian snapped on his penlight and looked at my eyes.

"Awesome concussion is decreasing. Carlos, temperature please", Brian said.

The nurse, whom I'm assuming is Carlos, quickly swiped my forehead with the thermometer.
"100.1", he read aloud.
Oh good. It's going down from the last time i was awake.

But wait, how?

"Brian how is my fever going down?", I asked.

"There's an Iv in your arm", Brian said.

I looked down at my arm. Just the thought of it made me gag.

Unfortunately, i vommited in the bucket next to me.

"Uhhhh", I wailed.

"Katie it's okay, let it all out", Carlos said.

"What are these things on my chest?", I asked Carlos.

"Those are measuring your heart rate hon", he said softly.

I nodded.

Dr.Evans, Angelica, and another nurse walked through the door.

"Katie, darling so glad to see you awake. I'm Dr.Evans, I'm sure you remember me hon", Dr.Evans said shaking my hand.

"Uhm uh I do, yes. Um yes", I scrambled for words.

I remember her, she was my doctor before Brian.

"Fever is down to 100, vommiting still high, heart rate normal, bp normal", Brian said.

"Concussion?", Dr.Evans asked.

"Gone", Brian answered.

I closed my eyed, i hated this. I wasn't scared. But i still hated this.

"Alright, Katie honey I'm going to need a blood sample sweetie. Your vomitting and other symptoms might be coming from that", Dr.Evans said with a small, warm smile.

Heck no. Nuh huh.

"No no no", I said quickly.

"Honey it's okay baby", Brian said taking my hand in his.

"Sweetie it'll be over quickly", Dr.Evans said.

"Uhm what time is it?", I asked.

"3 pm", Angelica said.

"Brian can you call josh and tell him to come? Please? He told me he wanted to know what was going on, and I want him here", I said.

Knowing Josh, he'd make me feel calm. Somehow his presense soothes me.
