Doctor

please, tell me

what's wrong with my baby?

He keeps throwing up.

His vision's all blurry.

about his headaches

None of the doctors that we saw

could figure out a cause.

We'll be getting

his test results soon.

For now, you should just

try to get some rest.

He's stable.

Seems the antiemetic

Yeah.

Still looking

at severe vertigo,

extremity pain,

nausea, headache, and fatigue.

[MAI] That's a pretty

broad range of symptoms.

Could it be autoimmune?

Lupus, maybe?

It sounds like

you've done your homework.

But something like that

would've been found

by the other doctors already.

[MAI]

That's a good point.

Based on the symptoms

that he's presenting,

it could be the result of a
