Chapter 11
Having Carol and Burt around made the long scary week at hospital almost bearable. Kurt who pretty much worked from home anyway spent most of the mornings at the hospital, whilst Blaine was at work, then Blaine would spend a few hours with Cory in the evening after school with Devon and Kurt would go home and get some rest. It was hard, every day brought something new. The first couple of days of Cory having his medicine it had given him a rash, a horrible sickly pale colour had spread across his skin leaving dark red blotches on his belly. Kurt had been the one to notice it when he was changing him, he had called for Nancy and she had come straight away telling him not to panic and her and the doctors ran some tests. It hadn't been anything serious, just a sign that the drip was a little too strong and they put him on a weaker one. Nancy assured him a few days later when the rash had gone down and he was reacting well to the drip that this was a sign he was getting better.
The next thing that had happened four days into Cory's stay at hospital was the young boy started to vomit every time he had his milk. Kurt hated seeing his little boy so weak and Burt and Carol started to bring Ariella to the crèche so that they could be there for Kurt who was starting to struggle. The sickness they were reassured was just a side effect of the drip and they had put him back on puréed food instead of the milk.
"Daddy." Devon said as he scrambled into bed with Kurt. It was Friday and Blaine was staying over night at the hospital with Cory.
"Yeah buddy?" Kurt whispered opening the covers for Devon to get underneath properly. Since Cory had been admitted to hospital, Devon had given Blaine and Kurt space during the day, at hospital when he would visit after school he was as good as gold, he hugged his dads, and then spoke about his day and then just sat waiting for it to be time to go where he would hug whoever was staying and then go home. But at nights he was clingy, he wouldn't leave his dads side and was extra helpful when it came to Ariella.
"I miss Cory." Devon said and snuggled against his dad's chest.
"I know you do, me too." Kurt whispered rubbing his back softly.
"Can he come home soon?" Devon asked hopefully.
"The doctor's said he might be able to come home this weekend." Kurt said softly. "He only has tonight left on the drip, you know the medicine in his arm?"
"The one that made him sick and poop and rashy?" Devon said frowning his face up in what could only be described as the cutest manner possible.
"That's the one." Kurt said softly, playing with his hair. "And then if he is okay tomorrow and Sunday he might be able to come home Sunday evening. That will be nice wouldn't it?"
"Has the drip made him better?" Devon asked excitedly.
"He doesn't seem to be in any pain any more, and he's smiling and happy, he laughs whenever he sees you doesn't he?" Kurt smiled.
"Yes! And he always gives me big hugs and kisses." Devon said proudly. "I really hope he gets to come home soon. Cause I miss our family being together." Devon whispered.
"Me too buddy, me too."
Monday morning and Devon got his wish. Kurt was bringing Cory home. He had gone two whole days acting completely normal, he was laughing and playing and when he was let out of his cot he was taking steps on his own and then strolling around the room confidently with the walker. Nancy said that he might not be as progressed as Ariella, and the infection can mean that he is more prone to getting infections in the future. This worried Kurt but he knew he wouldn't become one of those parents that didn't let their child play outside in case they touched mud, and Nancy assured him to just go on like normal and if he got sick again they would treat him straight away.
The trip home had pretty much exhausted both Kurt and Cory, and as they got home and Burt helped them out of the car they were both ready for a nap. "You two go to bed." Carol insisted.
"But Devon..."
"I'll pick up Devon from school." Burt insisted.
"And I'll make us a big family dinner, yeah?" Carol smiled. "Go on, get some sleep."
"You need to pick Ari up too." Kurt said.
"I know buddy, by six." Burt smiled. "Me and Devon will collect her."
"Okay, he'll like that." Kurt smiled lazily as he carried Cory up to his room. Kurt placed him in his cot and then carried the cot to his bedroom and changed Cory into his pyjamas, cute little monkey ones that Devon had chosen for his birthday. Kurt then placed him in his cot and then changed into comfortable sweat pants and a baggy top and laid in bed closing his eyes and falling into a deep sleep. He could finally rest now that his son was home, healthy and safe.
Devon sat on the carpet waiting for his dad to come and collect him. It was Blaine's turn to pick him up and sometimes he was late if he had to see a student after school so Devon was used to being the last child to go home, but when his name was called he looked around at pretty much the whole class still waiting to go home, and rushed over to the door, jumping excitedly when he saw his Grandpa standing there.
"Hey kiddo. You have a good day?" Burt grinned as his grandson wrapped himself around him.
"Oh no." Devon said and looked over at his teacher, Miss Jennings.
"It's not that you haven't had a good day, you just did something a little sad didn't you?" She said softly.
"Yeah." Devon sighed.
"What happened?" Burt asked. It hadn't been the first bad report they had got from school the week Cory had been in hospital.
"I pushed Matthew." Devon sighed. "He was standing on my bag and I pushed him."
"That's not nice kiddo, we don't push do we?" Burt frowned.
"No. Sorry." He whispered.
"Did you say sorry to Matthew?" Burt asked, tilting his Grandson's chin up so that he was looking up at him.
"I did and I drew him a picture!" Devon said, Burt looked up at the teacher who nodded to confirm what Devon had said.
"Well let's not let it happen again okay?" Burt said and ruffled his hair. "Now go on get your coat we have to go and pick Ari up, then head to the store."
"But I wanna see Cory." Devon frowned.
"I know, and we will see him when we get home." Burt grinned.
"He's home?" Devon asked excitedly.
"He's home, so come on let's go." Burt chuckled.
Devon grinned and rushed to get his coat and bag, he couldn't wait to see his little brother who was finally at home!
