At Med, Dr. Rhodes already waited for them. "Hey, thanks for taking your time." Kelly said. "Yes, of course." Connor said. "You can go to Treatment Room 3." Maggie said. "Thanks Maggie. Well then come with me." Connor said and led them into the treatment room. «Well, tell me then. What's wrong with you? " Connor asked. «I don't even know why we're here at all. I vomited twice today and Dad thinks something is wrong with me" Caleb said, sitting down on the bed. "He's been complaining of severe headaches and tiredness for a few days, and he doesn't eat very much either. And he's often irritable." Kelly explained and sat down on a chair. Connor wrote everything down on his tablet. Caleb had to undergo a few tests. "Can we go home now?" Caleb asked, annoyed. "We'll be ready in a moment, but I would like to have you on sick leave from class for the rest of the school year." Connor said. "What? No! I-I can't be out now." Caleb said, looking at his dad for help. "Caleb, you're completely exhausted. Your body needs a break." Kelly tried to explain. "It's only 6 weeks left. Can't you prescribe something for me?" Caleb asked. Connor and Kelly looked at each other startled.

Meanwhile at home:

"Ok kids, who's helping to clean Caleb's Aquarium?" Matt asked. The kids sat in front of the TV, watched a movie and cuddled with Spiky and Filou. "Hello?! I asked you something." Matt said. «Why do we have to do this? It's Caleb's aquarium." Layla protested. "Yeah, but Caleb's not feeling well right now, so we're doing this for him today." Matt said. "Is he sick?" Matty asked. "Yes, but Uncle Kelly took him to the hospital and they'll help him feel better." Sylvie reassured her youngest. «Come on now. The sooner we start, the sooner you can keep watching the movie." Matt said, clapping his hands. Matty and Benjamin ran upstairs and got a bucket of water for the fish. The twins remained seated and crossed their arms. "Well, then you stay down here and keep watching the movie, but don't complain if Caleb doesn't feel like going out with Spiky and Filou." Sylvie said and went upstairs to help the others.

Back at Med:

"Caleb, listen to me. You're so exhausted that medication wouldn't even help anymore." Connor said. "What's wrong with you? I don't even know you like that?" Kelly said. Caleb didn't respond, just stared at the floor. «Caleb? Hey, are you okay?" Kelly asked. "I have a headache." Caleb groaned, closing his eyes. "OK come. Lay down." Connor said and shone with a lamp in Caleb's eyes. "April, I need you here ... Did he have that often?" Connor asked. "He often has headaches, yes, but it's never been that bad before." Kelly said. When April came into the room, Kelly was sent out to give them space to work. Caleb was given an infusion. Kelly called at home what the current state of affairs is and was then allowed to go back to his son's room. "Hey, how are you feeling?" Kelly asked, sitting on the bed. "As if the Truck 81 and the Squad truck hit me at the same time." Caleb said. "But you look better than you did 5 minutes ago." Kelly laughed. "Hey, how are you?" Connor asked, who came into the room with April. "Well, you tell me." Caleb said. Connor laughed and looked at his tablet. "Anyway, you look better than you did 5 minutes ago." April smiled and checked the infusion. "So, do I now have your permission to suspend you from class?" Connor asked. "Do I have another choice; besides, I suspect that you have already written the sick note." Caleb said. "You're smarter than I thought. We'll wait until the infusion is through and then you can go home." Connor said and gave Kelly the sick note. "Thanks Connor." Kelly said. "Of course. I'll get the discharge papers." Connor said and left the room with April.
