Well I ended up taking my son to ER. The doctor was so good with him. It took 4 tries at an IV. I did not realize how dehydrated he was. They gave him fluids, maxeran (?), and demerol.

He had a fever of 38.7, pulse rate at 114, blood pressure 129 over 82. They did some blood tests and showed a high white count. The doctor said if he is still like this tomorrow to bring him back to ER. He said to monitor his fever. When leaving his fever was at 38.3. So they said to continue with gravol, advil migraine, and tylenol. I was shocked that I could give him all of this at once. They said its not a problem as a short term use. Never more than 2 weeks. So he is laying down now.

Crossing my fingers that he will feel better in the am. Doctor said if this continues or he shows any major neck pain--have to do a spinal to make sure its no more than the flu. He said with this wheather change, the migraine makes sense.
