Is he sick?

Oldest son was mad at me yesterday - what's new, you ask, he is almost 15 afterall....  He woke up dizzy yesterday and was barely moving when he came upstairs for breakfast.  He said he had a headache and asked for asprin.  After he took some he also told me his skin hurt all over.  That's it, he wasn't looking good, so I made him stay home from school.  He was mad about missing his honors history class and band.  So we made a deal that if he felt better at lunch he could go in for the last half of the day.  That would get him to band and he could stay after for his band practice.  Nope.... he fell asleep on the floor while he was playing with his sister, then looked all over for a blanket (even though he knows where we keep them in the living room... can you say disorientation?)  Soon he was back to sleep in the chair until his brothers got home from school.  Then he didn't want to eat or drink anything at dinner time - now everyone was convinced he was sick!  After a hot shower he came back upstairs wearing a sweatshirt and burrowed back under his blanket.  That's it, Steven, off to bed.  After he sent Mike a text saying he felt like he might throw up, I decided not to wake him this morning for school, if after he woke up he felt ok, I would take him in.  Well, he woke up on his own in time to get ready for the bus, his old, perky self.  Glad he stayed home yesterday so his body rested when he was first getting sick.  I think he's not so mad anymore.
