It all started in a warm spring day at the Smiths house. a 6 year old girl name Abby was just coming home from School. Her Mom Lucy was in the kitchen baking Cookies. Her Dad William was at work at a hardware store Home Depot. He's a sale's men at the plumbing department, He also installs toilets & bathtubs. Abby walked into the door smell cookies in the kitchen.

Abby:"Mom! I'm home!"

Lucy:"In the kitchen."

Abby:"Do I smell cookies?"

Lucy:"Yes you want one?"

Abby:"Thanks?"

Lucy:"So how was School?"

Abby:"It was great. We got to have a longer recess today."

Lucy discovered a cut on her arm.

Lucy:"Abby? what happen to your arm?"

Abby:"What!? Where?"

Lucy grabbed the first aid kit.

Lucy:"Didn't you feel that?"

Abby"No,"

William came home from work.

William:"I'm home 's for dinner?"

Lucy:"We have a problem. It's Abby. She keeps getting cuts from School & she said that she cannot feel it. I think I need to take her to a Doctor."

William:"We took her every Doctor & they say there was nothing wrong with her.

Lucy:"Let see what can find in the computer."

Lucy was looking on the computer at every physician & found Someone.

Lucy:"Honey look at this. He's a specialist an unexplainable disease Dr. Hiro Hamada,MD. He's at San Fransokyo Children's Medical Center in San Fransokyo. We should drive down there."

William:"From LA California? That's a six hour drive. You know how much gas It will take? Where will we stay?"

Lucy:" They have hotels down there. What do you say?"

William:"Alright. I'll call my boss see I can take a couple of days off".

Lucy:"You don't need to. I'll take Abby. Will fly down there."

Lucy got on the United Airline's website's & got two E-tickets & print them out.

Lucy:"Are flight leaves in the morning it's only a 60 minute flight".

William:" I'll take you two to the airport. What time?"

Lucy:"Are flight leave around 10:15am. We need to be at the airport at 8:30am."

Meantime at our house, Baymax was helping out Honey out with the twins. I was getting ready for work until my pager went off. I called the Hospital. My boss told me that a 7 year old girl Abby is flying all the way from LA California with a unexplainable no pain disease. I looked in my medical book. I was excepting that it could be CIPA.

Meantime on the plane, Abby was Coloring with the crayon's & coloring book that the flight attendant give her. Mom looked at her see so was White pale.

Lucy:"Honey, Are you ok,"

Abby:"Fine Mom. Mom? What's wrong?"

Lucy felt her forehead.

Lucy:"Your burning up."

Abby:"No I'm not I'm fine."

Lucy's look down.

Lucy:"Abby you wetted yourself. Why didn't you go the the restroom."

Abby:" I didn't need to. My bladder wasn't full."

Abby was real while pale but no sweat showed up & put her head down. Lucy push the call button.

Flight Attendant:"Can I help you?"

Lucy:"How soon are we landing?"

Flight Attendant: Were on schedule. We should be landing in ten minute's

Lucy:"Do you have any ice packs?"

Flight Attendant:"I'll give you some cold cloth's."

Lucy grabbed cold cloth's & apply them on her daughter. She got her phone & call the San Fransokyo Children's Medical Center Emergency Room. After they landed, The Flight Attendants asks everyone to stay in their seats & clear the middle while the paramedic's wheeled the stretcher into the plane. They lie Abby down & strap her in & cover her up with a blanklet & took her in the ambulance with her Mom with her. After they left, the Flight Attendant's called it clear. In the ambulance ride, Abby had ice packs applied in her to cool her down. Her temperature went up to 106.0. One of the paramedic's radio the Emergency Room to prep the room.After they got there, I was waiting for them at the doors.

Hiro:"What happen?"

Paramedic:"Six year old Abby was feeling No pain at all. Temperature went up to 105.9. She couldn't feel if her bladder was full. She wasn't sweating at all. They went to every Doctor in LA & your are the only hope."

Hiro:"Thanks-You Ob-one. Put her in trama room B.

The paramedic's move her to the gurney. I help her get undress & put a gown on her & started to exam. the patient.

Hiro: Baymax hook her on the EKG,Blood-pressure, and.

I look down & she wetted on the sheet.

Hiro:"Where going to clean her up & put a a clean sheet on & Baymax, Go to the supply area & grabbed a urinary catheter kit. Were going to need it. Abby, I'm going to place this tube in your bladder. It's going to help you pee better & your urine will go into this bag."

Abby:"What Wrong with me?"

Hiro:"Where not sure."

We transfer her on a clean gurney & Baymax cleaned her up & took her underwear off & put a catheter in with the drainage bag. I talk to the Mom.

Hiro: I may need to admit her for some tests & I did patch her wound up & I also placed a catheter in her bladder since she cannot feel her bladder being full. she may have a genetic disease called CIPA. That means she cannot feel anything. Even you pinch her. Let me ask you this. Did some kids hit her at School?"

Lucy:"I don't know."

Baymax ran out of the room.

Baymax: "CODE RED TEMPERTURE WENT HIGH."

I ran into the room. She was really white pale & gasping for air. I apply an oxygen mask on her. I ordered fans to the brought four fans in to cool her off. I drew some blood & ran a blood gas on her & get some more ice packs in the supply area. I told baymax to scan her temperature. It went up to 106.9.

Hiro:"Her brain is frying. It could cause brain death so we need to work fast to cool her body temperature down. Baymax, We may have to wheel her down to the tub room & fill it with icy cold water.

We wheeled her to the tub room & filled it up with icy cold water. Baymax carried her to the tub & put her in. EKG & Blood pressure was still being meaured. Baymax scanned her. Her temperature dropped down to 103.5. We kept her in Baymax notice her temperature was dropping down below normal. He got her out of there & I wrapped her up in a warm blanket on the gurney. We wheeled her up to the medical floor & into a room. Baymax transport onto a bed & I hung her catheter bag onto the bed & covered her up. I start up an I.V on her to keep her stable make sure her temperature does't climb back up. Her labs came back from her blood work. It was CIPA. The explain why she couldn't sweat. For example when she in the hot sun for a while, Her temperature climbs because brain is not sending a message to her nervous system that sh's hot so it has a reversing effects on the body. Instead sweating going outside, it staying inside & the body is unable to cool itself off. It's a life threating medical condition that needs to be monitored everyday. That night, We were talking. I was sitting on Abby's bed.

Abby:"Dr. Hamada? How long will I'll be here?"

Hiro:"I'm afraid you'll be here quit awhile. You have a medical condition that needs my attention. Tomorrow I'm going to need run some tests in you & I going to have to put wires inside your brain to measure your brainwave's

Abby:"You mean open my head & put wires on my brain?"

Hiro:"That how it works. You'll be awake during the procedure but I'll numb your scalp so you don't feel me cutting your scalp.

I looked up at the monitored.

Hiro:"Abby, your temperature is climbing."

Abby:"I can't even feel it".

Hiro:"That's what CIPA does. Baymax, I need more ice packs stat."

Baymax applied ice packs on her. I upper the dose on her IV pump. I got another blood drawing kit.

Hiro:"I need to draw some more blood for complete blood count."

Abby:"What's that mean?"

Hiro:"Is to see how strong your immune system is working. Baymax, Empty her catheter bag.

Baymax look down at the bag.

Baymx:"OH-No."

I walk to other side of the bed & look at her catheter bag. She's peeing blood.

Hiro:"Abby. Your kidney's are shutting down.

Abby:"What?!"

Hiro:"Must be the IV on tthat cause kidneys failure. You may need dialysis.
