Riley complains about having a headache often because it is a line that he learned from Arthur. Last night, when he started complaining of a headache, we were not too concerned at first. He asked to take some medicine and I gave him some. He said that he couldn't stop heaving so I settled down with him on the couch, and he threw up his whole dinner. I changed his clothes, calmed him down, and laid down with him. We gave him an ice pack for his headache and he slept in fits and starts. I gave him more medicine at 2am, but it did not seem to help the pain. He got up this morning and threw up again. I called the doctor.
We went to see the doctor, and he did the strep test and checked his ears and did not see anything wrong, but, like me, the doctor was concerned that he had this headache that woke him up in the night and that he was throwing up. The doctor ordered blood work done and off we went to the lab. Riley was a real trooper and did not cry or even really flinch when they drew the blood. We can only pray that the results of the blood test will reveal something that is conclusive.
