angry
very healthy
overjoyed or giddy

Explanation:

The context mentions that Patty was always in the hospital with new illnesses. This implies a state of poor health. "Feeble" is related to weakness or poor physical condition. "Angry" is an emotion not indicated by the hospital - illness context. "Very healthy" is the opposite of what the context suggests. "Overjoyed or giddy" are emotions not relevant. "Sickly" aligns with the idea of being often ill, which is in line with the context.

Answer:

Sickly
