A family life
Chapter 5

In Virgil's point a view

Once we had got back to the hospital Jo had been tired and headed to bed early, I know that something isn't right because for the last couple of days she hadn't been eating and I think she had the shivers. I am worried that she has an infection setting in, so I made my way up the stairs to check on Jo, if it is an infection setting in then I need to get my wife to the hospital. I know this maybe nothing, but I need to get it checked out.

"Jo, I know that you aren't feeling to well and I want to check you over, is that okay with you?"

"Virgil, I am fine just tired that's all."

"I really don't want to scare you but you are showing signs of an infection setting in. We need to get you to the hospital I am scared that this could be sepsis creeping in"

"I really don't want to go there Virg, I don't want to leave my babies not now that two of them are home."

"At least let me look at your scar to see what is happening Jo, if it looks red and it has swelling up then I need to take you, I have noticed that you haven't been eating a lot lately and that is another clear sign. Jo I don't want to lose you through this." I said while I checked Jo out, as I looked at it I could see that it was red and looked really bad..

"Okay Jo I need to go and call for help now, this looks really bad and I don't want to take any chances with this" I said while taking Jo's hand in mine, and told her that I would be back.

I made my way back downstairs to see that Mum had both Joshua and Rebecca in their baby seats, mum could tell by the look on my face that something is wrong.

"Virgil what's wrong?"

"It's Jo, I think she is coming down with an infection and I am worried if we don't get it seen to then it could lead Jo to having sepsis. I am worried as she is showing most of the symptoms for it

"She was fine a couple of days ago, when you were happy to show your babies off to Penny and Parker. It could have been working on her, why don't you call Lisa and let her know what is going on and I will keep a good eye on these two. If Jo needs to go in, then I am sure there is enough breast milk in the fridge." Said Mum as she put her hand on my arm for support.

I made my way into the kitchen to make this call to Lisa as I am really worried about Jo, she has had it tough with this pregnancy. I want to get her checked out. As I called Lisa I knew it was going to take a while to get her if she was working.

"Hey Virgil sorry it took me a while to pick up, is there anything wrong?"

"I am worried about Jo I think she is coming down with an infection and she doesn't want to go to the hospital. I don't think she wants to leave Joshua and Rebecca now that they are both home."

"Okay Virgil I am due to come off duty in about 15 minutes, I can call by to have a look if you are right then she needs to be in a hospital on an IV to clear this infection. Virgil you are doing okay with looking after everyone and I am sure she loves you for that, how are both Rebecca and Joshua getting on?"

"They are doing okay now but if Jo goes into hospital how will that effect the feeding?"

"We will work something out Virgil but let me come and have a look it may be nothing but you are right to get it checked."

"Can you please hurry I am very worried about Jo." When I had got off the phone, I was on my way back upstairs when my phone rang and believe it or not it was Scott, I don't know how Scott knew that I needed to talk to him. It's amazing when the time is right.

"Hey Virgil, just ringing to check in how is everything going?"

"Not to great Scott, we think that Jo may have an infection setting in. Lisa had looked over Jo when we were back at the hospital, she had told us that her scar seem fine but said to keep a good eye on Jo. I think Jo is getting worse now Scott, during the night she said that she had felt cold. I did take her temperature and it was on the high side. Scott I am scared that she is showing signs of Sepsis. I don't want to be a single Dad Scott my children need their Mother."

"Okay Virgil you need to calm down a bit, there is a chance that it may have been caught early and all Jo needs is a hospital and on an IV drip." Said Scott as I moved myself into Robyn's bedroom to talk to my brother more. "Is Lisa coming around to look at Jo again?"

"Yeah, she is due off her shift any time now, so she is going to call by and see her, what if she does end up in hospital? I know for a fact that Jo doesn't want to leave Joshua and Rebecca now that two of them are home. I am worried about the breast feeding if Jo goes into the hospital." I explained to my brother.

"Well let Lisa do her job and see what is going on, there is no point in panicking over nothing. Whatever it is it can be sorted Virgil. We all know that you love your family and to be honest I really want that happiness now that you have made a go of it. Virgil, I think that I am falling in love with Lisa."

"Then tell her bro next time you are over, anyway I have to go Lisa is here to check on Jo. I will call you back once I have news thanks for the call Scott as I really needed to talk to you."

"No problem Virg, just give me a call and I will let Dad know what is happening. Jo is a very big part of our family and we wouldn't like anything to happen to her. Send our love and support to Jo Virgil and don't forget you are not on your own here. I better let you go if Lisa is here and good luck speak to you soon." said Scott as who had said goodbye and I made my way back into our bedroom to see that Lisa is looking at Jo "Lisa how is she?"

"By the looks of things here Jo does have an infection now, it could have been working on her for a couple of days as I didn't think much of it till you phoned me. I know that she doesn't want to go to the hospital but Jo needs to be in there for about 48 hours till it settles down, look I need you to call for an ambulance because we need to get Jo in now."

"Okay what about Jo have you told her?"

"No not yet I was waiting on you to come in, I don't fancy telling her on my own, hopefully we will have got the infection in time." said Lisa as we made our way over to Jo, I could tell that she was in pain and that scared me a bit.

"Look Jo I have a bit of bad news, you are going to need to go to the hospital now, there seems to be an infection setting in. we need to get you in now you are showing clear signs of sepsis and I know that you don't want to go but your babies are in safe hands. You need to get sorted and get back to yourself again."

"I still don't know If I can leave my babies, Rebecca has just got home and what about their feeding?"

"We will sort something out, the important thing is that we get you in and sorted. You want to be better for Robyn's birthday coming up in a couple of weeks, don't you? All we are asking is for you to go in for a few days." I said to my wife.

"Okay I will go and get sorted."

"Jo, Virgil is going to call for help, why don't you let me check both Joshua and Rebecca out to see how well they are doing with their weights." said Lisa.

While she was busy doing that, I made my way back downstairs to make these phone calls, So I called for the ambulance and got told that they will be here as soon as they could. While Lisa was finishing off with Jo, I decided to call the island to let them know what was going on. Scott is right Jo has been a big part in our family for years now, so I had to tell my family.

"Virgil Tracy calling Scott Tracy come in bro."

"Hey Virgil, how is Jo doing now?"

"Lisa has said that she now has an infection and she needs to be in the hospital, Scott I am really worried now I said it before Scott and I will say it again I can't lose Jo Scott not after all this time of only just getting her back, how do I explain to a six year old that her Mum isn't coming back?"

"Virgil you are over reacting Jo will beat this like she does with everything else that has been throwing at her. Your wife is a strong woman. She will pull through and will be ordering you about in no time. Believe me Did you know that Robyn took part in her first mission."

"She did and what did she do?" I asked my older brother.

"We got a call from John in TB5 to tell that us there was a cat stuck up a tree, the call from a five-year-old boy. We got there and as I rescued the cat Robyn was by that little boy's side keeping him calm. You know what when I was watching Robyn, I saw a mini you instead. So, you have all these things to look forward to, Robyn starting school and getting all your babies' home. Jo wouldn't want to leave you ether so just take things easy and take one day at a time, you have got this." Said Scott

After Scott went off the phone, I seen that the medics had arrived to take Jo to the hospital, Lisa had told me to stay behind to sort both Joshua and Rebecca out. I was still worried but now I know that my wife is getting sorted again. Scott is right I can't give up on Jo now.
