‘I can’t tell how bad the stroke was,’ Mike said. ‘Not until we get him rehydrated, get the intravenous antibiotics working on his chest and get him over his shock. He’s had a hell of an ordeal and he has a massive chest infection.’
‘He looks dreadful.’
‘You’ve seen him?’
‘I poked my head around the door when I got in.’
‘Are his obs OK? They were settling when I left him at midnight and no one’s rung to say there’s a problem. There’s been no change?’
‘Tessa’s happy with them.’
‘Tessa…’ Mike stared. ‘Tessa’s asleep. I set Hannah to special him.’
‘Tessa’s sitting by his bedside,’ Bill said blandly. ‘Hannah’s down in the nursery with Billy and his croup. Billy’s a real handful—he’s been giving the night staff hell—and Tessa told her she wasn’t needed. She’d look after her grandpa herself.’
‘But I told Tessa to go to bed.’
‘She’s not the sort of girl to follow orders,’ Bill said, a faint grin playing over his face. ‘At least, not unless she agrees with them.’
‘She’s exhausted,’ Mike said grimly. ‘That’s stupid.’
