Rescuing Riley, Saving Myself
“Roundtree was busy, and a girl I didn’t recognize was sitting behind the desk, but Krista was there. She smiled when she saw me.
“How’s he doing?” I asked.
“Better than he was yesterday,” she said, “but we’re not out of the woods. You wanna see?”
She led me down the hall to a room full of cages. I knew which cage was his because only one had an IV drip stand outside of it. I’d expected some kind of isolated ICU, the way emergency patients might be treated in a hospital. I felt like ...I should have donned latex gloves or a hospital gown first. Krista told me he’d gone through an entire drip bag overnight and was on his second. He had wet himself, too, which was promising, but there were still other concerns, such as possible permanent cognitive impairment and organ damage, most likely the kidneys.
“He also had a weak bowel movement this morning, the consistency of tar,”MoreLess
