Dialogue:
~Chris begins to regain consciousness as Mrs. Arborman, one of the school nurses, is about to retake his blood pressure.~
Chris: ~groans~ W-where am I?
Mrs. Arborman: You're in my office, dear. You passed out when you delivered your journal to me.
Chris: I....don't remember that....
Mrs. Arborman: ~begins to take blood pressure once more~
Chris: There's no need to do that.... I'm fine... Can I go back to class now?
Mrs. Arborman: ~inflates blood pressure cuff~ No, dear, I don't think you'll be able to go to class today.
~a moment passes~
Mrs. Arborman: ~releasing pressure from cuff~ It's high again. ~writes in journal~ Brenda, I think it's time we call Station Square General to ask what we should do.
Mrs. Feldly: Alright. I'll make the call. ~begins dialing number on phone, holding it to her right ear~
Chris: ~grunts as he lifts his left arm to his forhead~ Ohhhh I've got a splitting headache. Can I....have something for the pain?
Mrs. Arborman: We need to find out what's going on. You're running a fever of 101.
Mrs. Feldly: .... Hello, Station Square General?....... My name is Brenda Feldly, I'm a nurse from Creekwood Heights Elementary School. Can you put me through to someone in the ER? I need to ask a question about a student......... Thank you.
Chris: Nnngh... My chest feels like it's pounding...
Mrs: Arborman: I know, dear. I know. We're gonna get to the bottom of this.
Chris: ~closes eyes, loses consciousness again~
Mrs. Arborman: Chris? You still with us?
Chris: ~no response~
Mrs. Arbroman: ~begins to retake blood pressure, gets reading and deflates cuff~ How did it get so low again? ~marks in journal~
Mrs. Feldy: .... Dr. Bradshaw? Hi, I'm Nurse Brenda Feldly with Creekwood Heights Elementary. I'm calling about a student who's in our office right now.... Christopher Thorndyke.......... Oh, who is seeing him regularly when he comes in?.......... Okay, could you put Dr. Gelprette on the phone, please?...... Thank you.
Mrs. Arborman: ~checks to make sure Chris' chest is rising and falling~ Good, he's still breathing at least.
Mrs. Feldly: .... Hi, Dr. Gelprette..... Nurse Brenda Feldly with Creekwood Heights Elementary. We have one of your patients here in our office at the moment. Christopher passed out this morning when he delivered the data log to my collegue, Nancy Arborman........ Currently he's running a fever of 101 and his blood pressure has been all over the place...... I-it's like nothing me or Nancy have ever seen before. It's fluctuating rapidly. One minute it'll be down real low and then it creeps up real high and drops again once it gets so high...... It's been going on for the past 25 minutes or so...... He just lost consciousness again about a minute ago...... Yes, we have him on oxygen at 7 liters per minute. We've got him lying down and trying to make him as comfortable as we can..........
Chris: ~groans, but keeps eyes closed~
Mrs. Arborman: Brenda, I think he's regained consciousness. ~takes Chris' left arm and brings it back to his side~ Chris, can you hear us?
Chris: ......Who....who are you? What day is it?
Mrs. Arborman: It's alright, dear. Just focus on breathing, okay?
Mrs. Feldly: ..... Apparently, he also has an altered mental status. He's asked who we are, what day it is, and what time it is over and over again........ Yeah, we were wondering what we should do. We've never seen anything like this........... Alright, I'll call for an ambulance to have him transported...... Thank you for your time, Dr. Gelprette....... Alright, you too. Bye. ~hangs up phone~
Mrs. Arborman: Guess they want us to have him brought in?
Mrs. Feldly: Yeah. Dr. Gelprette said it he thinks he knows what's going on, but he needs to see Chris for himself. He'll be waiting for him.
Mrs. Arborman: Alright. Call for an ambulance and then call his parents.
Mrs. Feldly: Sure thing.
____________________
[EDIT- DECEMBER 3RD, 2014]: I guess this piece is sort of symballic how I've been in denial about having the situation about my workload with my classes under control. I will never give my mother the satisfaction of saying "I told you so", "you should drop out of college because you obviously can't handle it", "you have no business being there if you can't do the minimum of 12 credits per semester", and "I hate it when you hide things from me". (NO SHIT SHERLOCK!! NO WONDER I HIDE THINGS FROM YOU!!!) Then again, I had my head so far up my ass that I couldn't even think straight. And now that I've gained 5 lbs, I'll be starving myself for the next week for so.
[ORIGINAL]: Another Saga 2 pic. This is about a week and a half before Chris has the "big one" that puts him in the hospital permanently. He's on a nasal cannula and can have a personal tank with him in class. Unfortunately on this day, he doesn't make it to class because he begins to experience a very rare complication from IPI, something Dr. Gelprett (the doctor who diagnoses Chris with IPI in the first place) calls a "Hypothalamus Storm". The Hypothalamus itself, located deep inside the brain, controls most of the autonomic nervous system, especially body temperature, blood pressure, and heart rate. So because Chris isn't on the proper medicine to treat IPI, the poison begins to effect the hypothalamus, causing his blood pressure to rapidly rise and drop over a certain amount of time. In this case, it's every 5 minutes. It's made Chris very disoriented and confused. Once he gets to the ER, Dr. Gelprett has him put on IV fluids and on temporary hormone therapy to stop the hypothalamus from going haywire. They end up having to keep Chris overnight in the hospital to make sure he's okay.
Now, Dr. Gelprett is actually from the Mamodo world (the Allied Mamodo Interplanetary Federation, or AMIF) to begin with, so he can speak to Zikira in her native language and can understand her. But he also got lucky in diagnosing Chris when he first got infected because Dr. Gelprett had seen IPI only once before when he was working back on his home planet. (That patient only lived for 4 days.) So he somewhat knows how to treat IPI with alternate mediation until Congress can approve the proper medication for Chris to be on (since it's not even made on Earth, making it a matter of national security). In the meantime, Chris has to put up with shit like this.
There are also points in time where Chris is in denial about the disease being so severe. Even though he's a bit delusional because of the hypothalamus storm, he still firmly believes that he's got the disease under control and holds an "I don't need your help" kind of attitude, when in reality it's only getting worse as the days and weeks progress.
That's all for now. I want to type more, but I have to pack and go to class. I leave for Thanksgiving Break today. LATER!!
Enjoy.

Chris has it rougher than any of us can imagine. All he wants is to be a normal kid, but he couldn't be any farther from that. He doesn't want to be reliant on other people and always need medical support. But at the same time, he's learning what it's like to be humble and feel pain. It's a tough, but sensible way of teaching him to see through humble eyes.
This drawing is just a piece of the puzzle that shows how Chris learns to see the world through humble eyes. It's a story about struggling but overcoming it, and a great story at that.
As for the drawing itself, I love the tank, you're great at those. I like the angle Chris is shown in, makes me feel like I'm the nurse. I also like Chris' expression, it fits the idea of him being in denial and a delirious state.
