It was Elizabeths own stubbornness that landed her in sickbay this evening. A bad bit of the flu that had kept her in sickbay for several weeks had also landed her an NG tube due to her inability to consume anything by mouth. Though Elizabeth had been sent home a few days ago the NG tube wasnt to be removed until next week. She decided she didnt want the thing anymore she pulled it out in the bath, horrifying her mother and landing her back here. "Do I have to get another one? Can't I just eat?"
“Unfortunately,” Phlox informed her with a kind smile, “it looks like you’ll need the tube for the next couple of days at least. But we definitely want you able to eat on your own soon and soon you’ll be able to handle liquids. I promise, I won’t keep you on the tube any longer then you absolutely must, hmm?”
