chapter 6 sick days

Today was going to be a nice sunny day. Everyone was waking up on the morning of this nice sunny day.

Optimus saw that everyone was awake but his son his 14 year old son Wedge. "That's odd Wedge is normally up and at em at this time." Optimus said. He decided to check on him. He knew he had a project on the space bridge to do with the rest of the build team.

He walked into his son's room. He saw Wedge almost invisible beneath the covers. "Son," Optimus said. "It's time to wake up." he said.

Wedge just groaned.

Optimus pulled the covers back. Wedge looked at him. "Dad I feel terrible my throat hurts." Wedge said.

Optimus placed his hand on Wedge's forehead. It felt pretty hot. "I'll be back with the thermometer." Optimus said. Ultra Magnus saw Optimus come out of Wedge's room and head into the bathroom. He saw Optimus come out with the thermometer.

"What's going on?" Ultra Magnus asked.

"I think Wedge has a fever." Optimus said.

Optimus went back into Wedge's room. "Keep this under your tongue." he told Wedge after placing the thermometer under his tongue. The thermometer beeped. Optimus looked at it. "You have a fever, you need to stay in bed." Optimus said.

Optimus told everyone that Wedge was sick in bed.

The build team needed Wedge to finish the part of the space bridge they were working on. But they understood since Wedge was sick he needed to rest in bed.

A couple of hours later Optimus came to check on Wedge. He took Wedge's temperature It hasn't gone down it went up. Optimus had TAI call a medic. First aid came to the call.

"Okay Wedge say, 'ah'" First aid said.

"Ah," Wedge said.

"Tech tonsillitis just like I thought." First aid said. "To take care of this Wedge is going to need surgery." First aid said.

Wedge looked a bit nervous. "Dad," Wedge said holding Optimus' hand.

"Don't worry son, I had this surgery done when I was a kid." Optimus said.

"Yes it's nothing to worry about I've done it several times so there is nothing to worry about." First aid said.

"When will the surgery happen?" Wedge asked.

"Tomorrow morning. It's important for you to have some rest before the surgery." First aid said. "Oh don't eat or drink anything after midnight tonight." he said.

"So I can't eat breakfast tomorrow?" Wedge asked.

"Nope but you will get a Popsicle of your favorite flavor after it's over." First aid said.

"Son soon you will have as much ice cream as you want." Optimus said.

"Why?" Wedge asked.

"Because the day after surgery you have to eat soft and cold foods because hot foods or hard foods will hurt to eat." First aid said.

The next day Wedge got wheeled into surgery. Soon Wedge was put under.

When Wedge woke up he didn't know what happened. His throat really heart and he felt dizzy.

"Wedge the surgery is over it was success." First aid said.

Wedge just went back sleep.

"We better let him sleep the more he sleeps the better," First aid said.

After a couple days Wedge felt more like himself. He ate some ice cream. Wedge still didn't feel like talking. But First aid said after the end of the next week he should feel as good as new.

Sure enough First aid was right.

Wedge was up and around and talking in a nice strong voice.

Optimus was glad his son was all better.

Wedge was happy to all better too.
