She took the picture. Maggie gave us masks to put on and we used some hand sanitizer
Maggie: let's go see Frankie
We went to his room and he looked so down
Maggie: I have people here to see you
Frankie: Kaylee I know it's you
Kaylee: I'm not Kaylee. I'm hulk

Connor: I'm sorry Fred I didn't think
Freddie: I'm gonna sit in the breakroom
Connor: okay
Freddie left and Hector came to find me
Hector: somethings up with Kaylee
Connor: what do you mean?
Hector: she's just staring
We walked to Frankie's room
Frankie: Kaylee not wanna play Lego with me?
Connor: how you feeling kiddo?
Frankie: Kaylee not wanna play
Connor: remember when we talked about Kaylee's brain?

Kaylee stood up and was holding to the side of the bed
Connor: you okay?
Kaylee: mhm
I put my hand on her back helping her leave the room
Kaylee: weird
Connor: let's get you to a bed okay
We walked out of the room and we went to a free treatment room. We were in the corridor
Kaylee: h-help
Her body tensed and she stared convulsing.
Connor: somebody get Will!
I put my coat under her head and rolled her onto her side. Will came running over
Will: how long?
Connor: 3 minutes
Will: this the first?
Connor: no she had an absence and then her arm started twitching. I took her out of Frankie's room and here we are
The seizure stopped and she came around within 5 minutes.
Will: hey kiddo
Kaylee: hurts
Will: I know
We helped her up and put her into a treatment room. She fell asleep
Will: how's Frankie?
Connor: he's tired
Will: poor kid
Freddie pov
I went to find Kaylee and she was asleep. Connor and Will walked in
Freddie: seizure?

We turned around and she was waking up.
Connor: hey kiddo
Kaylee: 'm sorry
Connor: it's not your fault
