Illness Confines Teen to Bedrest

During after school hours, Lily was reported as being bundled up in a comforter sleeping in her bedroom.
She appeared to be suffering from Cold/Flu-like symptoms, which may have been contracted from weekend festivities.

She ingested a couple blue Tylenol Cold pills before slowly shifting into a resting position. Her nostrils were quite stuffed, which obstructed her breathing. She was forced to use her mouth as a means to attain oxygen. She began to drift off into a slumber, but her mind was riddled with regrets of the weekend's diversions.

"Lily should have stayed home and slept, because she knew she was sick. But instead she decided to go out and party anyways." Lily's mother said disapprovingly.

Lily did not want her symptoms to prevent her from having fun. Lily looked to a cold medicine commercial for inspiration, for she believed she could also be unstoppable, as the commercial suggested. With perserverance at hand, Lily left the house twice that weekend.

"Our commercials are only to be used as a recommendation, not as a guideline for outgoing behaviour." Stated a spokesperson for Advil Cold and Sinus.

"I'll be sure to stay home the next time I feel this crappy." Lily confessed remorsefully. "And I'll make sure to get plenty of rest."

It is common sense for individuals feeling under the weather, to get plenty of rest and drink lots of fluid, in order to restore mental and physical health.
