Another Saga 2 "screenshot". Before Chris is admitted to the hospital full-time, he opts to get treated as an out-patient. In this case, he can still go to school, but will have to wear a surgical mask to keep from infecting people and will have to go to the nurse's office to get his vitals checked at least twice. He can't participate in gym class. If he needs oxygen, the nurse's office will supply it, but he has to stay there and receive it until he feels well enough to go back to class. After school, he has to go to the hospital to get an antivenom shot. (This is temporary treatment until the drugs that Chris needs can be approved by the federal government for him to receive, since it's not from Earth.) Once at the hospital, his vitals get checked again and he receives the antivenom. If he needs oxygen, it's provided. Once he's free to go, he gets picked up by Mr. Tanaka and taken home. At home, his parents have hired a part-time nursing staff of about 3 people that come about 8pm. (They spend the night there and monitor Chris as he sleeps.) Once it's time for Chris to go to bed, they check his vitals again, especially his pulse ox, to determine if he needs a simple mask or a non-rebreather mask to sleep.

In this scene, Chris probably had a rough day where he may have been feeling short of breath most of the time, probably spending most of the day in the nurse's office at school. His pulse ox was probably a bit low when the nurses at home checked it. So they have him on a non-rebreather mask at 10Lpm (liters per minute) for him to sleep. The oxygen is coming from a G-tank, which is a fairly large oxygen tank. (Not as large as an H-tank, but it gets the job done.) With the help of :iconlyokowariorrenaryugu:, we were able to determine that a G-tank at 2000psi (a unit of pressure) administering 10 liters per minute of oxygen to a non-rebreather mask would last around 8 hours. So with that said, Chris would probably get closer to 7 hours of sleep with one G-tank considering he doesn't fall asleep immediately after the tank gets set up. The monitors also have to be set up. At home, he gets the capnograph sensor inserted into one of the exhalation ports on the mask (which in this drawing you can't see it because he's laying on it), the pulse ox is on his ear (you can actually take a pulse ox on your ear apparently), and the EKG leads are all set up on his chest. This home treatment goes on until Chris has an IPI attack so bad that he can no longer go home and has to remain in the hospital full-time.

I have mixed emotions about how this piece came out. I had a bit of a hard time with the lighting. I haven't used this kind of shading technique for a while. But Chris also has to sleep with the lights on in his room so the nurse's can monitor him. This can be quite frustrating especially if you usually sleep in total darkness. So they untie the certains on the sides of Chris's bed and draw them over so he can sleep in somewhat darkness and to block out some of the noise from the monitors. (According to episode 50 of Sonic X, the certains on Chris's bed can move.) But I don't think I executed the shading well. Idk, you guys decide.


Enjoy!
