Summary: When Matt gets sick, what will be his saving grace?
Rating: PG
Disclaimer: Don't own them. I just like to borrow them to play with occasionally.
Thankx: To all of the reviewers who have reviewed my fic so far.
Notes: As for a timeline, this takes place a while after Tai got sent home, so Kari has met Koromon before and knows a few of the general things to do with her brother.
Notes2: Sorry for the wait on this part. I got distracted by a few other ideas that I had for song fics. I am starting to run out of ideas for this fic. If you have ideas, you can e-mail me. If I use your idea, you will get credit for the idea.
Notes3: Enjoy the fic!!
Nurse Baker hurried into the room, carrying the 2 new x-rays. She immediately went over to the light board and turned it on as the kids wordlessly gathered around her.
"These two x-rays," she began, "were taken exactly 25 minutes apart from each other. We had upped his medication before they were taken, but if we give him anymore, it could be lethal." She placed the x-rays on the board and gave a sigh of relief. "It had noticeably slowed down, for now, that's good. But we need to make it stop completely, he's not out of the woods yet."
"How fast was it progressing before you started giving him a higher dosage compared to how fast TB normally spreads?" Izzy spoke up, hope shinning in his eyes.
"I'm not sure, never thought about it before. Probably at least 10 times faster than normal," she sounded confused.
"How often are you supposed to give him the medication?"
"We give him a dosage shot every 3 hours."
The other digidestined could practically see the gears in Izzy's head working.
"What if you give the shot to him 10 times as often? Say around every 20 minutes?"
"His arm would look like a pin cushion if I had to give him a shot that often!" Nurse Baker exclaimed.
Joe stepped forward. "Couldn't you put an IV line in for that?" He asked, he was supposed to go to college to study medicine, after all.
"I guess that could work. I'll have to approve it with the staff, but I say it is worth a chance, he can't do any worse."
"How soon would we be able to tell if it works?" Sora asked.
"He won't be able to have a new shot for at least an hour, but, providing that the idea is approved, within two hours."
"I'll be back in a minute," Tai said. "I have to get TK."
Tai ran all the way down to the bathroom. "TK?" he called out softly as he opened the door.
Tai was nearly scared to death by TK as he darted towards him and hugged his leg. "I thought that you would never come back! How's Matt?" he looked up at Tai.
"A little better. Izzy has a theory that might help him..." Tai proceeded to tell TK about everything that had happened while he was hiding as they walked back.
When they walked into the room, they noticed that the nurse had gone again. TK immediately went over to his brother's side and sat down in his vacated chair.
"Tai," Sora said coming over to him, "the nurse is making us all phone home."
"She left to get a portable one," Joe said.
"She didn't want us to clutter up the main office while we waited to use the phone," Mimi added.
"What about me?" TK asked worriedly.
"I think that you are exempt from that," Izzy shrugged.
"Listen guys," Tai spoke up. "We need to get our story straight. Summer camp got cancelled and we were sent home. We were taking a short cut through the alley, and that's when Matt passed out."
The others all nodded in agreement as Nurse Baker came in with the phone.

It took around half an hour total for all of the kids to call their parents. Mimi had to go home. Her mom was going to pick her up in front of the hospital in 15 minutes. Joe had to leave around that time too. His brother was going to pick him up. Kari, Tai's little sister, was coming over for awhile. She had acted like she hadn't seen her brother for a month instead of only a few days.
Mimi and Joe reluctantly left to go wait to be picked up. They made sure that the others would call them if there was any change in Matt's condition.
Kari was dropped off by her and Tai's parents and ran all the way to the room where her brother and Matt were. She wasn't sure why she knew which of the many rooms it was. Kari looked in the room that she had stopped in front of and looked in it. Upon seeing Tai, she called out his name and ran up to him, giving him a hug.
Tai picked her up and carried her over to the side of the bed and stood next to TK. "Did an evil digimon do this?" She asked as Tai set her down.
"No, but he is very sick."
"Is there a cure?"
"We hope so."
TK had hardly acknowledged Kari's presence, instead he stared at Matt, the young boy's eyes hardly blinking.
"Why is there a tube down his throat?"
"Because he is too weak to breathe on his own; that is where the infection is at, his lungs," Tai patiently informed her.
The Nurse Baker reentered the room. "I have approval to put in an IV line." She went took a few medical instruments out of the white pocket in her suit and went over to Matt's arm. As she proceeded to set up the IV, everyone turned away.
"It's a good thing Mimi left, or else she would have passed out," Sora joked.
"I have this set on a timer," Nurse Baker said as she finished up. "If there are any problems, just press that red button on the wall and I will arrive shortly," she said as she left.
TK stayed where he was at as the others made introductions to Kari a ways away. They informed her of everything that had happened so far.
After about twenty minutes of talking, Kari went over to TK. "You are TK, right?"
He nodded absently, distractedly.
Kari tried to carry a conversation, but it didn't work. "Hello?" she finally said, annoyed when he stopped nodding to her questions.
Finally TK spoke up "Guys! I think I just saw Matt blink!"
"Are you sure?" Izzy said as they all gathered around.
"Yes, look!" TK pointed.
"He IS waking up!" Tai exclaimed as he too saw Matt's eyelids flutter.
