Heatwave and Quickshadow live in Fort Worth Texas. Heatwave worked as firefighter and Quickshadow was a pediatric oncologist who works at Cook Children's Hospital. They just welcomed a son to the world. They name him Hot shot and they loved him very much.

Hot shot began to grow and grow. He was soon crawling. Then he was walking and talking too. He was soon able to run as well. Hot shot was meeting all of his milestones.

Hot shot was growing into a happy and healthy child. Hot shot loved to run, jump, climb and play. He loved to run around, swing on swings, climb across bars and to throw around balls. Hot shot was a very active and playful child.

Heatwave and Quickshadow were both very happy to have such a playful and active child for a son. It made them feel good to see him so healthy. They loved how much he has grown. They were looking forward to watching him grow up more.

Hot shot has always been a happy and healthy child. He has never been seriously hurt, or sick at all pretty much. He rarely has ever gone to the doctor. Hot shot was just an all round healthy little boy.

Life was happy and going well. However things can change in an instant.

It was a couple of weeks before Thanksgiving. Hot shot was starting to feel unwell. He had a painful left ankle.

"Mummy my ankle hurts," Hot shot said.

Quickshadow took a look at Hot shot's ankle. "I see nothing wrong with your ankle, maybe you twisted it while playing," Quickshadow said. "How about you try not to walk on it so much," she said.

"Okay," Hot shot said.

Over the coming days, Hot shot's pain was getting worse and worse. He was wondering what was going on and why his ankle was hurting.

Quickshadow would give him medicine to help with the pain.

But the pain persisted. Now Hot shot was limping around. It was hard to walk without limping in fact. He was wondering why it was happening. He couldn't run around and play like he was used to to doing.

Hot shot was feeling very bad. He now he had a fever too. The fever was also persistent. Hot shot was wondering what was going on with himself.

On the Monday before Thanksgiving Hot shot was feeling especially bad. Quickshadow and Heatwave noticed this. Both of them had been very worried about poor Hot shot.

"I am very worried about Hot shot, he hasn't been well for some time," Quickshadow said. "Something is going on with him," she said.

"I have that feeling too, to be honest," Heatwave said. "I wish I knew what it was," he said.

"I think we need to take Hot shot in to see a doctor," Quickshadow said. "I called his doctor and she said take him to Cook Children's hospital right now," she said.

"Okay we better get him ready," Heatwave said.

While getting him ready they noticed a huge lump on his left ankle. It made his ankle look almost like a big balloon.

"Where are we going?" Hot shot asked.

"We are going to Cook Children's Hospital." Quickshadow said.

"Hospital?" Hot shot asked.

"Yes we are taking you there to find out why you have been so sick," Quickshadow told him.

"Can I bring Roxy?" Hot shot asked showing his rhino.

"Of course you can," Quickshadow said.

Once Hot shot was ready they took him to Cook Children's Hospital. Hot shot watched as things went by in the car as they headed to the hospital. There were a lot of things to see. Hot shot was kind of nervous however. So he squeezed Roxy his plush rhino very tight.
