It was a cold and snowy winter day, but Paul Wahasaypa didn’t even notice the weather. Paul didn’t notice much of anything as he slipped in and out of sleep. He was in the hospital and not feeling well at all. Paul had started to feel sick a few days ago so his mom took him to the clinic. The doctor told Paul to stay home from school until he was feeling better. However, he didn’t start to feel better. In fact, he just kept feeling weaker and weaker, so after a couple of days his mom and dad took him to the hospital.
The doctor was still doing some tests to see what was wrong with Paul. Ade had stayed all night with him while Ena went home to take care of Danny and Baby Laura. The whole family was very concerned about Paul. Ade had even taken a few days off work until the situation improved. He also had protocols in mind that he knew would help his son. Ade told Paul that he had to head home to do a few things and Ena would be coming over soon. He wanted Paul to try to eat some breakfast and rest a bit more while he was gone.
