So Uncle Jesse said " my poor boy ... i wish you would wake up Luke you can't die , " Bo and Daisy are worried sick for you so hopefully your body will fight this bug off. then a couple minutes later a nurse came in and she told Jesse that his time was up ", so went back to the waiting room to sit with Bo , Daisy while Luke was being checked. So the nurse figured that Luke looks good and went to report to his doctor ", the dukes was getting tired of sitting so he asked Jesse if he needed a drink of coffee cause he figured it was gonna be a long night so Jesse replied " sure i'd love some. So as Bo was getting Jesse a cup of coffee and he was trying to think good thoughts.

Later on that afternoon Luke's doctor came out she said " i'm looking for the Duke family then Bo , Daisy and Jesse walked over to the doctor and Bo said " how's my cousin, the doctor said " well i'm sorry to say that Luke is in a deep coma due to his fever ", he seems to have caught the epstein Barr virus which is a bad one but he is okay. Unfortunetly we had to hook him up to an Oxygen mask due to the fact that the virus he has effects the lungs you can see him now if you want but only one at a time, Bo said " i'll go first ", the doctor said " okay follow me", when Bo arrived in Luke's room Luke simply looked like he was sleeping until you took into account the machines . Bo slowly walked over to Luke's bed and he picked up his hand and said " so sorry cuz ", " i don't know how you got so sick you gotta make it Luke you can't die i wont' let you. " you just rest concentrate on getting better don't worry about a thing sweet dreams.

meanwhile in the ambulance Luke was out like a light he also has a very high fever ", then one of the EMT's decided to check Luke's reflexes so he opened one of his eyelids and shined a light in it and Luke started moaning because of the flashlight , his head hurt so the guy said " just relax son go back to sleep and Luke mumbled some nonsense. When Jesse and Daisy arrived at the hospital Jesse said " alright where's my boy ", the nurse at the desk said " can i help you sir ", " my nephew Luke was brought in", I was wondering if you knew anything ?", she said " i'll see what i can find out for you ". Meanwhile in the ER Luke's doctor was checking Luke out and sadly the doctor was having no luck in waking Luke even though he tried to slap him a few times it didn't work, so he then checked his breathing and it was good , he checked his vision he could just see white so he told the nurse to write down " comatose and check his temp. So the nurse checked Luke's temp. and she noticed that it was high wrote it down, on his chart and then when the doctor came back she said " fever is high ", so the doctor then said " well looks like he has the epstein -Barr virus . I would have to run some tests to make sure but i'm pretty sure of it. Cue Elly Mae Duke

Meanwhile, Enos, who was at the Boar's Nest with Bo decied to call Daisy and tell her what was going on. "Are you serious Enos?" she asked, holding the cb mic. "I am Daisy. . .I think you and Uncle Jesse ought to head on out to tri-city hospital. That's where Luke is." Daisy nodded trying not to cry "Okay Enos. . .we'll be there." she sobbed "Don't worry Daisy. Me and Cooter will meet you there." Enos promised. "Okay." Daisy nodded "I'll be waiting for you." she said. "Right. Well I reckon this is where I'll say bye." and Enos hung up. Daisy stood there shocked "I can't--I just can't" she tried not to cry, but failed and she rushed out to the barn where Jesse was just finishing up a few before-dinner chores. When Jesse saw her he was shocked "What's the matter baby?" he asked concerned. "Luke's been taken to tri-city hospital." she said through her tears. Jesse nodded "Get what you need and go on to the truck. I'll be there in a minute." Daisy nodded and did what he told her.

Daisy said " oh no quick go get uncle Jesse he should be out in the back 40 , so Bo quickly made his way over to the back 40 by the time he reached uncle Jesse. He was out of breath so he said " Uncle .. Jesse .. Luke passed out in the barn ", Jesse said " well that ain't good c'mon Bo let's go check Luke out something's up for sure, So when they arrived at the barn Bo tried to wake Luke up and he was having trouble. But he didn't quit he kept at it and he said " c'mon Luke wake up cuz but Luke's eyes didn't open and he said " dangnit Luke would you wake up ", Luke started making a moan when Bo heard him he said " Luke you okay cuz ", Luke slowly started to wake up. Luke said " what happened " , Bo said " i was just about to ask you the same thing", then Luke said " i was feeling fine until i started feeling tired again for some reason". Then Bo decided to help Luke up Bo asked Luke if he felt like he needed to rest, and Luke just said " no i'm fine Bo just got a little dizzy that's all no worries. So anyway later on that afternoon the boys decided to go over to the Boars Nest", Cooter and the boys was talking about the stuff that's going on around town and for now Luke seemed to be holding up good for now after a few rounds of beers and chuckles. Luke started getting a funny feeling in his throat again he let out a few short coughs, his head starting hurting , he shook it off thinking it was nothing when Bo noticed Luke looked like he had a headache he said "Luke okay cuz ", Luke said " Bo ... i feel sick. Bo said " c'mon let's get you home Luke ", then Luke slowly started getting up then he almost made it to the door when he started getting dizzy again then he passed out. When Bo noticed Luke wasn't behind him he said Luke , Luke " then when he looked down he said " LUKE ", " Luke you alright , Luke " when Bo didn't get a response he felt Luke's forehead he was burning up then he tried to wake Luke up again but he still didn't reply. So Bo told Enos who was off duty told him to call an ambulance so he did sadly poor Luke who was laying in Bo's arms was in a very deep sleep and Bo was trying to be brave. Once the ambulance arrived Bo told him where he was and one of the paramedics ", checked Luke out and he said " this boy is burning up , then once they got Luke into the ambulance they started checking out his vitals and one of them tried to wake Luke up, but he wouldn't respond and Bo wo was sitting on one of the benches could hear one of the EMT's tell the hospital about Luke's condition : comatose , high fever , unresponive. Once they arrived at the hospital and rushed Luke back into the ER Bo was told to wait, until one of the nurses came and told him that he could see him won't be too long. Cue Elly Mae Duke

So Bo made his way back into the kitchen and told Jesse , Daisy that Luke is awake now. Meanwhile in the bedroom Luke was having trouble waking up on account he felt so sleepy, he finally managed to open his eyes followed by a pair of short coughs which wasn't good. When Luke finally showed up for breakfast Jesse said " are you feeling sick Luke ?", Luke said " i just feel so tired for some reason , my throat hurts it's probably nothing. Jesse said " will keep an eye on it just in case ", anyway Luke was trying his best to enjoy his breakfast of fried eggs , bacon , toast and hashbrowns but he just couldn't wake up. I don't know about y'all but i'm getting awfully concerned about Luke's bug. After breakfast was done the boys decided to try and get their chores done even though Luke wasn't feeling his usual self he figured collecting eggs couldn't hurt so he tried to collect them when he felt a funny feeling in his throat again and so he coughed again and then when Bo asked " Luke you alright ", Luke replied " just a cough cousin i'm fine". But Luke wasn't fine he was just saying that so Bo wouldn't worry ", anyway Luke was making his way over to milk the cows when he started feeling sleepy again then all of a sudden Luke passed out and landed right in the hay and was once again off to dreamland.
