I woke up and i started coughing really bad. I tried to stand up and walk to my bathroom but i fell when i stood up. I yelled for my mom and she came running into my room. She gasped and helped me get back up. She carried me over to my bed and she laid me down. She put her hand on my forehead and she said "Yeah you're burning up, I'll go get you some medicine." I tried to lift my self up but i didn't have enough strength. She told me "No, you're not getting up. Just lay down and I'll go get you medicine." I tried telling her no I wanted to stand up but she called for my brother David to watch me. When my mom left i tried getting up again, David came over and pushed me back down. I wanted to yell but i couldn't even get a sound oyt of my mouth. I was really worried I didn't know what was going on.

I guess I went to sleep while my mom went and got me medicine. There was a man in my room. My vision was really blurry but when my eyes focused I relized it was a man in scrubs. When he noticed that I opened my eyes he said "Oh good, you're awake. Can you move at all?" I tried pushing myself up but i just flopped back down. He then told me to raise my right arm and left leg. I lifted them up with no problems. I did the same with my left arm and right leg. He then asked if I could try and lift my body up a bit. I still had problems and the doctor look a bit worried. After my little physical tests, the doctor walked over to my mom and started talking to her. She looked at me with sad eyes and I felt sick to my stomach. I leaned over and barfed all over the floor. The doctor jumper and ran over to me patting my back and holding my hair up. He then told my mom to call for an ambulance

Riding in the back of the ambulance wasn't fun at all. The doctor was sitting on my left and my mom was on my right holding my hand. I looked over at her and asked "What's wrong with me?" She then said "It's nothing minor, you're just a little sick." I looked over at the doctor and he said "Yeah, it doesn't seem very bad, but went you vomited, I seen some blood so that's why we're taking you to the hospital." I then tried to nod my head but i couldn't do it. I didn't know if they were telling the truth. I started crying and my mom told me not to worry.
