Obi-Wan's condition got better, then he was near death, then he was better again. He seemed to be feeling better. Qui-Gon was constantly at his side. Every time Obi-Wan woke, he saw his Master over him.

"All this time in bed is killing me," Obi-Wan said.
Qui-Gon smiled and helped him to his feet so he could stretch. "You need to take it easy. You might be feeling better now, but tomorrow you're going regret this."
"Probably, but I need this."
Qui-Gon watched his Padawan walk around. His legs were stiff, but he managed to walk around for 10 minutes without falling over. Obi-Wan sat on the bed and took a sip of water. "How are the others?" he asked.
"They're good. Some have healed completely."
"The healers find a cure yet?"
"No, not to speed up the process, but they just care for them. Keep the fevers best they can."
"When are we going to leave?"
"When I feel that you're ready to leave."
"I'm fine!"
"Right now you are."
Obi-Wan sighed. "Yeah, I guess."
"Get some rest. The faster you heal, the faster we can go home."

Like Qui-Gon said, Obi-Wan did regret getting out of bed. The next day his fever was back up again and he was delirious. With Qui-Gon's constant care, he was getting better by night fall.

Weeks passed and several people were still sick. Obi-Wan was up and helping again. The small boy he had talked to was up and running around. Obi-Wan's fever had been gone for days now. He cared for the sick. They were still fighting for life like he had, but they were getting better.

"Padawan," Qui-Gon called.
"Yes Master?"
"We'll be leaving tomorrow. You'd better get ready."
"Yes Master."
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Obi-Wan had won his fight for life, but others had lost. Win or lose, all of them gave a good fight for life.

Stupid ending, but I couldn't think of how to end it, so this'll just have to work.
