It came out of nowhere

I dropped Alex off at PNO around 7:30 last night and he was on top of the world.  I picked him up right before 11:00 and his eyes were bloodshot and the bags under his eyes were flaming.  I offered to get him ice cream and he passed.  It was confirmed...my kid is sick. 

I took him home and medicated him and fed him, but his headache refused to go away and he woke up with it this morning.  I got new meds at Walmart and the cold symptoms are much, much better.  He refused to eat until about 1 p.m., but then he seemed fine.  The headache and a low-grade fever keep popping up, but the Motrin is keeping it in check.  Then around 6 he threw up.  He's been sleeping most of the day, but it's the restless kind.  

Of all the joys of motherhood, my baby being sick is the one thing that kills me. He's waking up again so I'll have to keep you posted.
