Coconut Fever (A TWINCOCONUTS FANFICTION)

Chapter 6: Diagnosis

It has been over two weeks since Jay was sent to the hospital and nothing was new. Harrison put a video on YouTube stating what had happened and to keep Jay in their prayers. As a result, the Coconuters sent Jay a whole bunch of gifts and get well cards. Harrison put them all over Jay's hospital room, while he stayed there by his brother's side. Jay was hardly ever awake, and when he was, he would just eat a little then go back to sleep. Whatever this was was really knocking him out.

Harrison was in a fast food restaurant to pick something up for him, before he went back to the hospital. His phone rang; it was the doctor. Harrison hoped that it was good news. He answered the phone.

"Hello?"

"Mr. Bradley, it's Dr. James", the doctor answered, "We think we have a diagnosis on what's wrong with you brother. Come to the hospital and we'll talk."

"I'll be right there. Thank you."

Harrison hurried to the car, hoping what Jay had wasn't too serious.

................

Harrison arrived at the hospital, where Dr. James was waiting for him. Harrison, feeling nervous, walked up to him.

"Mr. Bradley", Dr. James greeted. Harrison dipped his head in return.

"We have a diagnosis", he started, "Jay has a very severe case of a parasitic infection called Cryptosporidiosis, or Crypto for short. It causes high fever, weakness, and vomiting."

"How do you get it?"

"Well, the parasite Cryptosporidium lives either in soil, water or a human or animal host." The doctor replied.

"Is he going to be ok?" Harrison asked.

"He might", Dr. James answered, "Like I said, it's a very severe case and his immune system is mediocre. We'll give him heavy doses of anti-parasitic drugs and see how it goes."

"Thank you," said Harrison, as he walked towards Jay's room.

"Oh, and Mr. Bradley," the doctor called. Harrison turned around. "I am a huge fan of your YouTube channel, TwinCoconuts. So on behalf of a fellow Coconuter, I wish you both the best."

Harrison smiled at the doctor, thanked him and walked to Jay's room.

................

Harrison walked into the room, where Jay was lying there with his eyes open.

"Hey! You're awake." Harrison said.

"Well look at you stating the obvious," Jay replied cockily.

Harrison smiled, at least his illness hasn't changed his stubbornness. "How are you feeling?"

Jay huffed, "Bored. Theres nothing to do here but sleep and count the ceiling tiles."

"I know," Harrison said," but the doctor said that you have to stay and get treatment."

Jay sighed, "This was really nice of them," he gestured to the things surrounding his bed, "getting all this stuff. It makes me miss TwinCoconuts more than ever. You better not be making videos without me though."

Harrison laughed,"Of course not. I miss the fans too."

"How long has it been?" Jay wondered, "Since I've been here?"

"About two and a half weeks," Harrison replied, "Don't worry, I'll get you some coloring books tomorrow."

"Alright," Jay smiled, his eyes felt heavy, "I'm going to go back to sleep now, Harrison."

"Ok Jay," Harrison replied, "See you tomorrow."

Jay smiled and fell asleep just as Harrison left the room.

Hey everyone! Sorry this is late and boring. Hope you guys enjoy it anyway! ☺
