"Jeffrey was asleep in the backseat, and I started to get nervous. Jeffrey never, ever used to sleep on car rides.” This is a bit of a hint that something could be wrong with Jeffrey. Since he never falls asleep on a car ride this probably is showing that this whole problem was not a “mistake”.

"I thanked him, and I really meant it, which wasn’t always the case when I showed gratitude to Jeffrey.” This shows that Steven was very appreciative because even thought Jeffrey went through a huge disaster he still thought of Steven.

"Yay! Drum lesson!” This is showing that the severity level is very bad. I know this because Jeffrey just went through this terrible problem, but sudden he just wants to play drums even thought he was just at the hospital getting tons of shots. “Then Jeffrey told me he wanted to take a nap, which he hadn’t done in six months.” This shows that the severity level is bad because he hasn’t wanted to take a nap in six months. Six months is a long time so something must be going on with Jeffrey.
