howz theboy?...

He's still sick. He made it through school yesterday, but came home and went straight to the couch. He was still there when I went to bed at 11:00 (Mom was still up). He'd only gotten up once to go to the bathroom and hadn't even turned on (or asked for) the tv. He hasn't been naseous, just achy and wanting to sleep a lot.

He stayed home today. I just talked to him and he sounded better and ready to eat.

Thanks for askin'.

Corin, what your son has sounds similar to what 2JM's son Joshua had. Is it the stomach flu?

Be sure he eats something light. A heavy meal after being so queasy could make him feel sick again.

Hats off to the boy!

Parents always fall for the clammy hands.
It's physical evidence of illness. It's
a good, non-specific symptom. Parents are
generally pretty hip to the fever scams.
And to make them work you have to go a hundred
and one, hundred and two. You get a nervous
mother and you end up in a doctor's office
and that's worse than school.

He flips on his stereo and fills the room with the MTV
broadcast. A NEW SONG begins.

Fake a stomach cramp and when you're
doubled over, moaning and wailing, just
lick your palms. It's a little stupid
and childish but then so is school.
Right?

Thanks for askin'.

No worries... now go home and drive your boot up his keester and get him in motion...he's had time to recover...he may still be sick, but he needs to get up and get the blood flowing...make him stretch his muscles real good, and get some fluids in him...if he were of age I'd give him about 6 oz. of Everclear before he hits the rack to burn the gunk out...
