Chapter 7
House was still sitting in Wilson's office. He had made himself very comfortable on the couch and enjoyed annoying Wilson as much as he could.
Wilson was trying to do his paper work waiting for his next appointment. "If it does turn into GBS are you going to treat her till she gets better?" Wilson finally asked. Guillian-Barre Syndrome can take a few weeks to a few years for full recovery.
Do you think Cuddy would let me out of clinic if I had two patients?" House asked excitedly.
"Doubt it." Wilson laughed.
"Then no, I'll send her to some sorry excuse for a doctor. I'm sure a Physical Therapist would love something new." House laid back on the couch.
"You know. If you went to a physical therapist you'd probably have more endurance."
"I didn't hear you complaining last night!" House gave him a sly smile.
"Keep talking like that and neither of us are going to get any work done."
Just then House's beeper went off. "You're so lucky." House smiled at Wilson.
"Oh am I?"
"Yeah, if we were to continue like this Cuddy would have had your ass. And it wouldn't be as fun as when I have it." House kissed him and then limped out of the office.
Once he reached the hall he saw Foreman, the one whom sent the page, "What?"
"Positive." Foreman told him.
"Why did you page me when you were right here?" House questioned.
"I walked in on the two of you once and that was something I NEVER want to see again." Foreman opened the conference door.
"So it's GBS, has anyone told her yet?" House questioned his team.
"No, we figured you would tell us what treatment you wanted to start with before we went in a broke the news to her." Cameron said.
"Start her with an IVIg. And we are going to have to send her to a physical therapist that will show her how to do everyday activities until she fully recovers." House said erasing the white board.
The team left to go treat the patient by starting IVIg or Intravenous immunoglobulin. Immunoglobulin contains healthy antibodies from blood donors. High doses of immunoglobulin can block the damaging antibodies in your blood that may contribute to GBS.
Cameron met with her parents to explain what they would need to do to help her until she was able to recover. "You may need to manually mover her arms and legs to help keep her muscle flexible and strong. After she begins to regain control of them herself she will need to see a physical therapist to help regain strength and proper movement to be able to function on her own. This is going to be a long process but there is a very high complete recovery rate."
"What caused this?" Her father asked.
"We don't know what causes Guillain-Barre Syndrome. Though most of the cases seen are of people affected by GBS have had a recent infectious illness. So this is probably a result of the surgery. But we don't know for sure."
The parents nodded at Cameron and returned to their daughter's room.
"Did you tell them?" House asked Cameron.
"Yeah," she answered.
"Okay," House said gathering his stuff.
"Where are you going?" She questioned him
"Why does everyone ask me that? I believe I am the boss. I'm going home!" House flipped his backpack over one shoulder. "Our patient is healed."
"Bye."
House walked to Wilson's office and for once knocked before entering. Wilson answered the door and was surprised to see House standing there. "Did you just knock?"
"No, a little birdie did, DUH!"
Wilson just smiled at him. "Did you need something?"
"I'm going home, and just wanted to steal another kiss before I did." House said stealing said kiss.
"I'll see you at home then." Wilson said a little red in the face from having kiss House in the hallway in front of everyone.
House said nothing more just limped away in true House form.
