Narrative:

While boarding I was notified that a passenger had vomited in aisle. It was cleaned up and boarding resumed. Once an hour into the flight, I went to the back to see the passenger. I found out that the passenger that needed assistance was the same passenger that had vomited during boarding. We gave him oxygen and paged for a doctor. Flight attendant #7 was tending to the passenger and I went to get the emergency medical kit. The doctor, flight attendant #7, and I tended to the passenger. I advised the captain of the situation and gave him all the necessary information regarding the passenger. The doctor told us we needed to land as soon as possible. I told the captain and we prepared to land in mia. 2 of the medical kits were used and 2 oxygen bottles were used.
