"Casey, are you alright. Can I call somebody for you?" Trevor asks her.
"Just call George Huang for me. He will know what to do." Casey tells him.

"It's starting to happen faster, than I expected. Call an ambulance, and I will meet her at the hosptial." George tells Trevor.
After getting off the phone with George, Trevor calls the ambulance, and then lets Casey know, that the ambulance is on their way.
"What the hell, I didn't want an ambulance, I just want to get up, and go back to work." Casey screams at Trevor.
"George told me to call an ambulance. I totally agree with him you need to go and get checked out." Trevor tells her.
"Well could you please tell everybody else to please go away. They don't need to be looking at the cripple. Please call the 1-6, and let Don Cragen know that I am on my way to the hospital." Casey tells him.
"Yeah, sure I can. The paramedics are here. I am going to go and make that phone call." Trevor tells Casey, as he walks off, to the let paramedics do their jobs. Trevor phones Don at the 1-6.
"Don, this is Trevor. Casey wanted me to let you know, that she is on her way to the hospital. We finished up with court, and she went out of the courthouse. She fell to the floor." Trevor lets Don know.
"Ok, thanks a million. I was heading to the hosptial in a few minutes. Olivia is getting out of the hospital today." Don tells Trevor.
"That's great news. Hope she is on the road to recovery." Trevor tells Don.
Don sees Munch and Fin coming into the precinct. He looks at them.
"Fin, Munch in my office." Cragen tells them.
"Yeah captain what is going on?" Fin asks him.
"Casey is on her way back to the hospital. She fell at the courthouse earlier. I am on my way over there now." Cragen tells them.
Fin and Munch look at each other. "Ok, we will head to the hospital, after we finish up some paper work here." Munch tells Cragen.
Cragen grabs his jacket, and walks out the door.

"Hello Casey, how are you feeling?" Peterson asks her.
"I was feeling fine, until my legs gave out on me today, and I fell." Casey tells him
"It says here in your chart, that you have Lou Gehrig's disease." Peterson tells her.
"Yeah, please don't remind me of that." Casey tells him.
Since your muscles are starting to atrophy now. I want to see how much oxygen you are getting into your lungs"
Peterson tells Casey.
Casey puts her head back on the pillow. She closes her eyes, wishing that this would all be a nightmare, and I would wake up soon from it.
"There is someone here to see you." Peterson tells Casey, as George comes walking into the room.
"Hi, sorry I had Trevor call you." Casey tells George.
"No problem. What has the doctor said?" George asks her.
"He says that since my muscles are starting to atrophy, my lungs may not be working at full compacity. He is going to check my oxygen level." Casey tells him.

"Ok Casey, lets check to see where your oxygen level is sitting at." Peterson tells her, as he puts the O2 machine on her finger. A minute later the machine reads 75. Peterson looks at George.
"Could I speak to you outside please?" Peterson tells him.
George gives Casey a hug and kiss.
"I am going to be right outside with the doctor." George tells her, as he walks out into the hallway.
"It's not good news is it?" George asks the doctor.
"No it's not. Her oxygen levels are only at 75. She needs to be put on Oxygen right away, and you may want to call Hospice I am only going to give her about 3 months maybe less." Peterson tells George.
"Ok, thanks for letting me know." George tells Peterson, as he wipes a tear away from his eyes. Just as he is getting ready to enter Casey's room, he hears Elliot's voice behind him.
"George, we heard that Casey was back in the hospital. How is she doing?" Elliot asks him.
"Elliot, Olivia, Casey is really sick. Her oxygen levels are only working at 75. The doctor is going to put her on oxygen now. He has suggested that I start getting Hospice for her." George tells them.
Olivia wipes a tear from eyes, and turns her head to look in the room, where her dear friend is laying on the gurney, fighting for her life.
