Chapter 11: A house of Illness and a surgery.
This morning when I woke up I couldn't breathe because my nose was clogged and my throat hurts. Having asthma isn't fun either but when I have a cold it's horrible because I have to use my inhaler. Mom and Dad have told me that I was born with breathing problems but I wasn't on any vents or anything like that but I found I had Asthma when Luke was a baby. After I had come back into my room I heard Luke asking me if I could retrieve some tissues as he has a stuffy nose as well. I feel bad for my little brother as he feels like me right now. I hope Amelia isn't sick because she is scheduled for a surgery today on her right knee as she tore something in it and needs to be replaced. As I was heading towards the bathroom I heard Ellis crying because her ear and throat her and her stomach. "El do you think you have another ear infection or strep throat?" I asked my sister. "Bailey I don't know I feel like I'm going to puke and I know it won't help my throat ache." My sister said.
I asked her if she should go tell mom and dad but she told me that she would be fine and if she were to vomit somethings that we normally see in the hospital. I'm taking her to the hospital no if, ands, or butts about it. I know Lexie and Hannah have the cold and flu bug that is going around and I think it finally caught up with Luke and I. "Zola are you okay in there." I asked when I heard a commotion in her room. "I'm alright." She said to me vomiting at the doorway of the bedroom. "That's discussing hey has anyone checked mom and dad, and Mia." I asked. "No I don't think anyone has because I think they had to leave early because of her surgery." Zola said. "Oh okay has Ellis always had that rash?" I asked. When I saw the rash it brought me back to the day when I was in the hospital for Scarlet Fever. Then I walked in my room to see that Luke had a rash as well. I knew that it was something and that we needed to get to the hospital. Usually when a Shepherd gets sick we ALL get sick I happen to call it The Shepherd Plague. I don't like to be sick but I am and that I might be admitted because I don't feel good and am extremely dizzy and I have never had this before.
While I was sitting in the car I began to sneeze and had an asthma attack. Life isn't far when you have to have an inhaler 24/7. As I walked in the hospital I fell to the ground and woke up in a hospital bed. "What happened?" I asked when I saw my dad. "Bails you fell to the ground and have a fever but mom and I are worried about you being dizzy with this cold because it could be several of things." My dad told me. "What about Luke, Ellis, Lexie, and Hannah they had a rash." I said. "Well Ellis, Lexie, and Hannah have eczema, as far as Luke well I don't know what is going on their doing some test because I looks like Scarlett fever but it isn't like it was when you had it." My dad said. "What about Chicken Pox even though I thought you and mommy vaccinated both Mia, and him." I said.
When I woke up again I was in the family room that holds up to 14 people in it. I looked over to see my siblings that were admitted to the hospital sleeping, along with my sister who had a surgery. It turns out that Luke has poison ivy. But mom and dad are going to have 4 kids with surgery now as it turns out Ellis, Zola, Hannah, and myself need our tonsils out because we have had strep multiple times this past year. But I'm going to have surgery in a few weeks to take out my wisdom teeth that have been bothering me. I'm scheduled for removal of my tonsils in the morning but I'm not looking forward to it because it means another few days in the hospital plus the time I'm here for Vertigo apparently. My life stinks because I'm stuck here and I don't want to be because of illness. I wish I was healthy and could go outside and do fun things with my little brother, sisters, and baby siblings. I love to spend time with my siblings but when I'm sick I can't really do anything with them without them catching The Shepherd Plague.
A/N: so here is chapter 11. Sorry this chapter was kind of gross but it fit the idea I had showing the struggles Meredith and Derek have when the children are sick. So Bailey has asthma but he isn't the only one who has it. The next chapter is going to be Zola's Graduation with all the fun things that go on in between. I can't wait for what is going to happen in the next few chapters as they are going to be fun and it will show the friendship of the Shepherd siblings, and their parents.
