Mom of the year (once again).
My 11 year old tells me he doesn't feel good. He's a tough one to deal with when he's sick...like most men. I took his temperature, but he didn't have any fever. I had to admit he felt pretty warm, but I took it several times so I was unconvinced.
I FORCED him to get dressed anyway and it is dress uniform day, so this was an especially tall order. I then MADE him eat breakfast. I did at least give him a Claritan, jeez!
It was right about then that he barfed.
...We just got home from the doctor and it's strep throat. Doc says he's one of those rare kids who presents for strep with an upset stomach, not the typical sore throat.
And, ya, it turns out he was running a fever of 102.
